Play it Safe
untwining the rioe,rope, I demonstrated behaviours affected the physical safety of the group in a positive way, because my flimsy fern wall construction could have potentially stopped flying debris from hitting my teammates during the night. I demonstrated managing self by doing it without really being asked to do it. Papuni helped, well he did quite a bit of it, but I'll tae all the credit for that. Yip. Physical safety of the team: improved. Why: Less cold in the wind due to a stopping of wind via fern wall. Emotional safety of the team: improved. Why: Because the lack of intense wind whilst sleeping kept everyone emotionally stable, now if only those loud girls would shut the hell up we'd be perfect. This wasn't really important, but it was because not only did it offer protection from the wind and privacy of sorts, it added aestetic appeal to the hut. My behaviour in doing this was appropriate ad helpful. The influence of my responsible behaviours on safety was moderately influencing.

Driving Question
What does it take to safely survive, adapt, live and communicate effectively as a team in the bush?
44 Day Outline
Day 1:
I went to the library and watched a bunch of bush survival videos, and then we were put into groups and we went to the school hall to make giant posters to illustrate our groups title. I then left and went home.
"period of forgottenness"... and we got in the vans with our gear. I then sat through at least 20 minutes of crappy opotiki and bush roads. Upon arrival, I got out of the van and we went with our stuff over to the main area by the teachers tent and we listened to what they had to say, then we all went off to find Team Hut Locations in the surrounding trees. Our group just found a small clearing and agreed that it was good enough. We then attempted to build a 'hut' which was more of an open fort by the time it was done. "period of forgottenness" I walked over to the place where everyone was gathering and we did the 'Food Treasure Hunt' which was okay. I (with the help off an opposing team member) aquired some potatos, but our team lost that so we got the designated 'worst food' set, which really wasn't bad We then did a song/chant for our group and we won that, so we got a whole bunch of cooking utencils. With all this stuff we made a pretty good dinner. It was like pasta that had the pasta tomato sauce stuff and cheese sauce that came together to taste a little bit like the smell of corn chips. We then attepmted to go to sleep, which was unlikely because a couple girls in our group were really loud and annoying and made it very hard to sleep. So I left with my sleeping gear and lay down in a bush in between the main areas and my Team Hut Location. After a while I was discovered and ordered back to the Hut, but after a while the noise became unbearable again so I went back to where I was earlier and got a descent nights sleep...
Day 3:
a raft, and went orienteering. Both tasks were failed miserably. For orienteering we went very off course because our compass holders idea of north is going North, then east, then north, then east, then north, then east until we reached the top of the hill we were climbing and missed the target place by a big distance and we failed. For the raft we built it and it fell apart in the water, but we won because it fell apart less than the other groups rafts. Yes.

Play it Safe
In our Survivor Camp I took part in the building of the raft. In this activity I demonstrated the following responsible behaviours: compliance with instructions, assisting and supportin others. My behaviours affected the physical safety of my group in a negative yet positive manor. Because my job was to untwine the rope so it would be longer and we'd have more rope, although it made the rope we used thinner and weaker. I demonstratedcompliance with instructions by doing as I was told and untwining the rioe, I demonstrated assisting and supporting others by helping the team build the raft with my rope untwining skills. The phsical safety of my teammates was both supported and threatened as the raft was held together better, but more likely to fall apart if the rope snapped. I think the emotional safety was affected positively because my job consisted of no put downs and it showed others that even the little jobs are important. I only know that this was important because the raft held together, sort of, despite the truly poor knots tied. Thankfully I didn't tie the horrible knots. These things made it so we won the raft race and our emotional/physical safety was good. These were the consequences of me putting into action responsible behaviours. I probably could have needed to change my behaviour more and do more for the team, although in saying that, if I hadn't behaved in such a way the little job would not have been completed and the task could have been potentially jeopardized, potentially. The influence of my responsible behaviours on safety was moderately influencing.
following responsible behaviour: assissting and supporting others. I pretty much just tried to give the hut wind resistance by placing ferns along the sticks that boundarised our construction. My behaviours affected
