Today Room 1 and Room 8 went to the beach for a beach cookout. We went to Karoro
Beach in Greymouth on the West Coast of New Zealand by the Tasman sea. We made our
campfires by Watson creek. We went with two teachers, a teacher aid and some parents
helping us. I was in a group with Nevey, Zac and Nathan. We had Mrs Glue helping us.
At one point Mrs Truman came down to see how we were doing.

We went down to the beach at 11am on the 3rd of April. It was a Wednesday in term 1.
We went down in Autumn because you don't need to get a fire permit to light fire. But our
teacher Mrs Kemp got a permit anyway. When we got down there we had to find a place to
build our campfires. Once we had chosen where we were going to build we had to collect
tinder and small sticks. While we're waiting for our fire to heat up we prepared our food.

We went down to the beach for a lot of different reasons some of which were: to see how we
worked together in teams which I think everybody did really well. Another reason was to just
have fun which everybody had. To practise survival skills, like how to properly build a fire, and because it was for our William Pike Challenge.

We made our campfire by collecting big rocks to put around the outside of our fire. Then
we found lots of gorse to use as tinder. Once we had done that we found some small
skinny sticks to put in a pyramid shape over top of the tinder. Once we had done that we
lit our fires. It took us two goes before we had finally lit our fire. When it started going
we went through wood very fast.

Then we started preparing our food. Every group had five dollars per person to spend on
the food so my group had $20 altogether. We made steak sandwiches which had onion,
garlic butter, steak and tomato sauce for our main. Then for dessert we were going to
make pancakes with bacon but once we had made our pancakes we forgot to cook the
bacon. We didn't have any butter to use for cooking our pancakes so we tried to us oil
but it didn't stop the pancakes from sticking to the pan.

One thing I found challenging was flipping the pancakes because they were sticking to the
pan. One thing I enjoyed was making the fire and making the steak sandwiches. Another
thing I enjoyed was cooking the food over a campfire.
