Shelter building

One of our Bear Grylls survival skills activities was shelter building. you never know when you might need one! We had to show team work, big thinking skills and make decisions together. We were so good that our instructor, Mrs Sait, said that we passed with flying colours! 

Working together

Travelling by night!

Sometimes, in order to survive, you need to travel by night. We'd better practise those skills in case we are ever in danger in the night and need to leave somewhere in a hurry!

We were in the hands of a great Survival Mission Instructor!

Problem solving in the forest

Of course if you are in a tricky situation, stuck in a rainforest or on a remote island, you will have to work very carefully together to get out of danger! Crossing swamps and getting through gigantic spiders webs, without disturbing the wildlife, can take a lot of quick thinking and even more team work!

Keep that wobbly bridge balanced!

Rainforest skills!

The Bear Grylls survival team instructors have really put the team through their paces today during the rainforest skills challenges. 

The team have had to cross crocodile infested waters, create bridges across rivers where piranhas are known to swim and zip between treetops to avoid snakes and other creatures below. 

They have crossed other rivers and ravines on rope bridges and rope swings. Exhausting work! There were lots of problems to be solved on the way. Grit, determination and courage were needed! 

Teamwork has been essential!
