S: You learn how to collect water, make a fire and build somewhere to sleep. It was an adventure! M: Really? What happened?
S: I was collecting water from the stream when I heard a noise . I looked round and saw an eagle on the path! It flew away before I could take a photo. M: Did you frighten it? S: No, I didn’t. I wasn’t making a noise when it flew away . Later, we were cooking sausages on the fire when it started raining . The fire went out and we all got wet. M: Oh, no! What did you do then? S: We went home. But it was a fun day and we learned a lot!
