It's a BEAR....
My favorite kind of on-line learning is... watching Bear Grylls 'You vrs Wild'!
In this program Bear goes on adventures in wild places like the forest, the desert and the snow mountains. When a problem comes up you get to choose what Bear does to see if it works. For example in the last episode I watched, Bear was in the desert. There was a situation where he had to get down from the high rocks, either rock climb down or use a rope. I chose a rope and it worked! Sometimes it doesn't work and he has to call in his team to help him. Once, my mum sent him sliding down a snow cliff and he nearly fell off the cliff. This was the wrong choice!
I've learnt lots of things - did you know that you can turn spider, scorpion and snake venom into medicine?
I'm going to watch another episode now!

Thanks for sharing, Wiremu. This sounds like a video version of pick-your-own-adventure stories! I wonder how it works? Maybe there is a sophisticated computer program behind it all - a bit like the sorting activities our class did before lockdown on our 'chalk computer'. Lots of decisions, all linked together. I hope you help Bear survive as many situations as possible when you next watch!
ReplyDeleteHi Wiremu, it's great to see you blogging during lockdown. I'm enjoying seeing what Mokoroa have been up to.
ReplyDeleteBear Grylls is someone I sometimes hide my eyes when I watch. Some of the things he does seem frightening to me! He is the ultimate adventurer and inspires many people! Would you like to do the things he does?
You have learnt some interesting facts too. I didn't know that spider's venom can be turned into medicine but I do now.
Keep up the great work and we look forward to seeing you when we are all back at school. Meanwhile stay safe and well in your bubble.
What a fantastic learning opportunity - I like the fact you are learning about snake venom through a computer simulated activity, rather than actually coming into contact with a snake! I like your play on words for your title...I remember the Superman movie clip "Is it a bird? Is it a plane?" so it made me chuckle to see your title with the image of Bear Grylls flying. Keep up the awesome online learning Wiremu. We'll hopefully get to see you sometime soon. In the meantime, stay safe and well in your bubble :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Wiremu
ReplyDeleteI have have also watched Bear Grylls i liked the part in the dessert also when he pinned the snake down to get its venom. Have you seen when he went into the wolf cave? It didnt look safe from the outside. Dante
