Our Treasure Hunt

Today we continued our maps for the treasure hunt. Yesterday we had chosen a starting place and an ending place and we did a quick sketch of our route. Today we took some more notes and pictures and stuff like that. Then we started our main map. All of us have almost finished. It was hard to measure without a ruler so you had to use meter steps. It was easy to write the directions. It was hard for us to draw and measure a scale. IT WAS A VERY FUN DAY!

Here is a picture of a spider's web covered in dew. We found it when making our treasure hunt maps.

The Walk



We went on a walk today and we had to find out where to go. It was hard to use the map and compass but it was fun!!!
The walk was over 1.5km. We all learned about maps and compasses. It was also fun to be at the front and find out where to go. I think everyone learned a lot and it was a fun expeirience for everyone. When you were at the front you had to turn the map the way you were facing and use the compass.
