Today we went down to the Karoro beach by the Tasman Sea. We were all in groups in my group was, Billie, Lincon, Cailan and Daniel, and our adult was Cailans dad Craig.

We went down on the 3/4/19 at 11am and came back around ten past one. We did this in Autumn, because it is open fire season and you do not need a permit to have a fire on the beach.  

We went down to make campfires. We had to make a t shaped fire. First we put tinder, and smaller sticks, then we had to put bigger sticks around the outside. Then we lit it with a match and let it burn to the embers. 

We did this because it is part of the William pike challenge, and it also tests our survival skills and how well we work in a team. I think that our team worked really well together and everyone was doing something. 

My group make baked potatoes and spaghetti as the main meal. We did this by cutting up the potatoes and putting garlic butter and cheese in them. Then we wrapped them in tinfoil. For desert we made banana split. We cut the banana in half then put brown sugar then putting them on a pan and melted the brown sugar. Then we put then in a bowl and put chocolate sauce in them. 

Everyone had a fair share of things to bring and we all agreed on what we wanted to make. I brought brown sugar and garlic butter, Lincon brought a pan, potatoes and chocolate sauce, Daniel brought grated cheese and sour cream, Billie brought the utensils, spaghetti and plates and Cailan brought bananas, paper towels and tinfoil. 

I had lots of fun and I an excited to do it again at the end of the year. I think that our group worked really well together because we all communicated with each other.
