    EXPLORE / TŪHURA learning intentions:

    • We are EXPLORING … camping skills by… collaborating with our classmates to organise and plan for an overnight camp.
    • We are EXPLORING … camping skills by… recognising risks and dangers whilst camping and cooking in the outdoors
    • We are EXPLORING … camping & tramping by… discovering skills and knowledge needed for a tramp and overnight camp.
    • We are EXPLORING … survival skills and strategies by… discovering a variety of skills required to protect ourselves in nature.

    This video clip will help us make notes on how we can reduce risk:

    Before leaving on an adventure
    During the trip, especially if we get lost, tired or injured and can't continue
    After the trip, when we finish


    Parts (minutes): 6-10:30, 12-12:30, 14-14:25, 15-16:30, 17:18-18:50

    Before going on a trip, it's good to prepare a RAMS form. 
    This stands for Risk Analysis Management Statement.
    It helps you make sure that you have thought of what might happen and what you need to keep safe.
