On Monday Foster and Hockney went to Greenwood Park to take part in Scouts activities. The first activity was called shelter building where you had to make a shelter out of a cloth, two big sticks, two small sticks and six pieces of string. We were all split in to ten teams of six. Each team had a mallet to hammer the big and small sticks in to the ground. The time limit was 30 minutes all the teams were ready until Mr Murphy’s shelter fell down at the last minute so one of the Scouts people fixed it and it was back up.
After that the scouts leader taught us how to do the rain dance so the rain could fall down (but really he was holding a bucket full of water) then he told us all to get in to our shelters and then he got a cup full of water and spilt it all over our shelters. It was fantastic!
The next activity was called emergency delivery where you had to deliver post card to the postman who ran away. Once you got 5 stamps off the teachers who kept swapping pens and running away and hiding in the trees (Mr Murphy) then you had to run to the postman (who was really fast) and make him write your team name on the card then you would keep on getting a card until the game ended. It might have been good for other people but for me it was just an exhausting game.
