Life's Forest

Survival week has begun!! We scouted for a great location to set up our camp. We found one near water and full of resources. As of now we have built fire for cooking and a shelter to protect us from bugs.

Our honeybees are growing so strong! A few days ago we noticed that they were doing something called bearding. This is when they collect on the outside of the hive when it is too hot and humid. It’s like cooling down on your front porch. To help the hives cool down and get more ventilation, we added a third box to their hives and also removed the entrance reducers at the bottom. Honey soon!!!

Volleyball day! Lauren did an AWESOME job teaching this sport. We beat the humidity in the afternoon by playing some indoor balloon volleyball. You can’t use your torso, just your legs and arms to hit the ball. SUPER SILLY!

The start to our olympics week highlighted golf! After a few holes we beat some of the thunderstorms with weaving and making pretzels!

Today was our epic battle of the elements. Fire beat earth in our stick burning challenge, water beat fire in our squirt gun challenge, fire beat wind in the put out the fire challenge and wind beat earth in our sand challenge!
