2022 William Pike Challenge Beach Cook Out

 Ruma Waru learned about camp fire safety; ways to build safe camp fires, how to safely light a camp fire and how to safely extinguish a camp fire. We were allowed a maximum of four matches per group and the challenge was to light the campfire using only one match... congratulations to Emma and Lucy who did this for their group. We also had to work in groups to develop and cook our meal on the camp fire. As you can see we did a great job!

Beach Clean Up for William Pike Service

On Wednesday 18th September Karoro School students from Rooms One and Eight walked along the cycle way and the Karoro foreshore collecting rubbish. Sadly we found a lot of rubbish. We collected the rubbish, sorted it into rubbish and recycling, and then Mr Terry removed the bags off to Maclean's Pit. A kind loader driver lifted up the really heavy rubbish and removed it from the cycle way for us.

Aimee and Brighid found so many bottles we could not retrieve them all this time.

Milan and Jennae tried pulling up a length of rope that was buried in the sand.

Hannah was horrified to find a six pack plastic ring tab.

Lincon and Clem dug up a tyre with the help of Daniel.

The girls collected bones... and could almost re-construct a whole sheep!

Thanks to Westroads for lifting away the heavy rubbish.

Beach Cook Out

Max's team work on collecting wood for their fire.

Every fire place needs a fire side seat!

First clear the fire pit, then put down your kindling.

After we had finished we took smothering the fire seriously.
Pot lots of sand did the trick!

Caitlyn's group had expert help!

Caleb found a comfy seat and Billy found a stick!

The modern version of two sticks...
AH and the bbq starter.

Cameron's tripod and camp stove were superb for the job
and Miko was a cracker chef!

Patties in the pan... burgers on the way!

Kebabs! Who whipped those up? Mmmmm!

Zac was a master on the steaks.
Imagine the luck of finding bricks at the beach!
Perfect for the grill to sit on.

Hazel recommends chilli sauce in a burger.

Great teamwork from Hannah and Jennae  

Sam was all about the steak! Well done or medium rare?

Gourmet fare on Karoro Beach.

And not just steak... potatoes too!

Serious smores Cam!

There were a lot of bananas and marshmallows...
 but only one group made pancakes!

Chocolate bananas cooked in the embers in tinfoil.  So good!

And then there was the super duper gourmet banana! Is that a balanced meal?
