Beach Cookout

Today room 1 and 8 went to the Karoro beach for the beach cookout. We went with two
teachers a teacher aide and a group of parents. In my group was Clem, Jack, Brighid, me
and our parent with us was Kelly Swinburn.

The first thing we did when we go down there we got into our teams and then looked for a
place to build our fire. When we found a good spot to build our campfire we build a rock barea
and then started to collect kindling. Once we had enough kindling we built a teepee around it.
For our main course we made sausages in bread and for dessert we made pancakes with
maple syrup and mini marshmallows.

The whole team took apart in this by bringing something for the food and we all participated
in the building and putting out the fire. We did this because it was apart of the William Pike
Challenge. We also did this for a fun challenge and to learn new skills.

I really enjoyed going to the beach and doing the cookout. My favourite part was putting out
the fire because when we put water on it I like watching the flames turn to smoke. Next time
I would help more with the cooking.
