At my school, when you’re in the grades 6-7 you go to a place called Nature’s Classroom. It is a place  in Becket, Massachusetts where you get to learn about nature and how to work in a team. It is out in the woods. You sleep in a cabin for three nights.  There are lots of fun activities that require teamwork and strategy. Also there were activities that helped you learn about nature.

 

There was a game that we played called Predator v.s Prey. This game was a simulation for the food chain. I really liked it because I got  to feel what it feels like to be a animal. I also really liked it because at the end of the game there were only four people left. Those four people were my really good friends. We also had something called field group. You go to your field group a couple times every day. In our field group we played a game called Camouflage.

 

Camouflage is a game where you have to hide from your field group leader, and then he/she had to try to find you. All the groups played a little bit of a different way. I really liked this activity because you had to use strategy about where you were hiding. That’s not all we did in field groups, we also got to learn about nature. We saw many trees and learned a lot about them. We also looked at animal tracks. Looking at animal tracks was fun because now you can look outside and find a track and know what it came from. Overall It was a very fun trip!

Ok, I am going to talk about some things related to being safe on the internet and making all the right choices. My name is Bastien, and I am doing a challenge called week 4 digital footprint on the student blog, There are 5 Activities I chose activity 5. What happens in activity 5 is, writing things you would recommend doing on the internet to a younger audience.

 The internet is probably one of the most dangerous tools in the world, and one of the most useful. It can be used for many bad things and many good things, some of the bad things it is used for are, abuse to children and adults, viruses and trackers, and many others. Some of the good and useful things are, research for schools, communication websites (used safely), and learning many interesting things. The internet is very useful but must be used with care handled with safety.

 Computers/Laptops are wonderful tools and great inventions. They, as any online mechanical device can be hacked and programed by other device users. There are ways to block malicious programs and viruses, and keep your computer safe and be responsible with them.
