Jack having fun on the slide.

We did it!

I walked out to the lake nervously and got ready for raft building. We got all of our gear to make the raft and started to put it all together. We started with the foundation. We made it with 12 bottles. We put four wooden beams from bottle to bottle to bottle then we tied the rope down to each bottle. We had 8 ropes to make 12 ties. It was complete.

We shoved it down into the lake and got on. The teacher gave us the paddle and we went 25m then 50m the 100m away from the edge of the lake. The small waves rolled past us and to make it worse the sound of the waves started to irritate me. We started to come back... 100m, 50m, 25m, 0m. We are back. We hopped back onto land and took the raft to bits. I was proud of our achievement. We did it!
