[|Adventurer Bu Windsor] (14Mb wmv file).Join Bu and Shelley at Aoraki Mount Cook School and find out how Bu became an experienced climber and outdoor enthusiast. Discover the benefits of taking part in outdoor adventures.1. Where are some of the memorable places Bu has been? Antartica, Everest, Aoraki Mount Cook 2. How did Bu get into outdoor activities? Her mum took her tramping, and a friend took her tramping in New Zealand. 3. What does Bu gain from being in the outdoors? She meets new people, sees stuff she hasn’t seen before, she does new things that she hasn’t done before, she gets confidence and feels good.

Next step learning: Decide on a goal for an outdoor activity and write down the steps you will need to take to achieve this goal. Go tree climbing at the park with my sister Shalom. What I need to take: food, sunscreen, drink, a cellphone to call mum if there is an accident. We climbed a small tree that had low branches and was very strong. The best thing I learned was that if there is a weak branch and a strong branch you never sit on the weak branches because they could snap and you could fall off and have an accident. What I would do differently next time is, go on a tree with just strong branches, not weak ones. I don’t like really tall trees because it can be hard to get down. One challenge I could give to myself about climbing tree is: go up a bigger tree. = = = **Maths activity** = 1. How many kilometres could you travel in 8 hours if you walked 4.5 kilometres every hour and took an hour’s break for lunch? 8 hours – 1 hour = 7 hours7 x 4.5km = 31.5km
