Every year my school has a week of outdoor activities called Bering Sea Days. On Monday and Tuesday we went reindeer hunting. On Wednesday we did a lot of different activities. None of the activities that we did were outside.
On Wednesday we help put together a baby killer whale's bones. This killer whale was a whale that we my class dug up last bering sea days. We only got all of the vertebrae put together. The people who did not go on the reindeer hunt were putting the whale together through out the whole week. We are going to continue putting the skeleton together next semester.
Also on Wednesday we were cooking a reindeer that Paul had go during the weekend. We cut a lot of pieces and made it into jerky. We also put a lot of meat through the grinder so that we could make burgers out of it. Some people were making a salad to go with the reindeer burgers. And someone was able to saute the reindeers heart.
On Thursday we continued to put the killer whales skeleton together. After we helped with that we had to go dissect kitiwake stomachs. Most of the people did not like having to cut the stomachs open. After we did that the younger grades cooked the kitiwakes. Only the younger grades were able to do this because the older grades had cooked the day before.
We also had to sit through peoples presentations about the Bering Sea. Some guy named Seth was doing a presentation about waves. And a guy name Josh was doing a presentation about archeology. During Josh's presentation he was talking about finding spear heads. He brought a few spears for us to throw.
On Friday all we did was stay in our class room and we made posters. The people who went hunting made a poster about the reindeer hunt. And the people who did not go on the reindeer hunt did their presentation about digging for fossils. At the end of the day every one who made a poster had to present them and people had to judge them. And the reindeer hunters poster had won first place.
