In archery we had to get enough food for our group by shooting cardboard animals like squirrels, bunnies, deer and ducks. We had to get enough food and calories to survive. We used our hands to see what arrow to use and we practiced with floo floos. We did it because that is how people got food in the past and we learned that they used every bit of the animals, they caught what they needed and that it was hard to get enough food from hunting. We learned it was hard even while the animals were not moving! We talked about food waste and the impact intensive farming has on our environment. All the dinners we had were really good and we didn’t want to waste any of it because that is bad for the environment. It was hard but really fun!
