Raft making at gpc

"yes finally raft time" I said to Brayden and Caroline as I skipped down the hill. This is going to be my favorite task I thought. When we got down to the lake there was a pile of life jackets. I put one on but I didn't keep it for long as it was freezing cold! "ah jees that's cold" came out of my mouth as soon as I put it on. Brayden had already put his on and said "oh come on Ryan its not that cold" well it is for me it was! I went to feel the water luckily the water was warmer then the life jacket. it was time to make our raft. their was a pile of materialises. we had to grab



  • 8 planks of wood
  • 8 fuel cans  
  • 6 pieces of ropes 
  • 2 strong ropes 

Were all ready and set lets start building. the girls stool all our good fuel cans instead of going and getting them from the pile. aye those are our cans you took them we all said to the girls. our parent told us not to worry and told us a secret "don´t put to much wood on or it will sink" Richards dad whispered to us. we moaned and said their going to win. Richie's dad said back to us "no they will not. if you have a look theirs its got to wood much witch is heavy so its going to sink". We listened to him.

 

a couple minutes later it was done, it had a can at every 4 corners and one in the middle of the woods of plank, we had one log across the middle for our feet. we only had 5 wood planks. like he said we kept it light.

there was one last thing we had to do. Test it. i was so happy to find out that it flouted.
