On Monday we went rafting. We stopped at a river on the way to pine valley where we were camping. We made them out of rope, tarpaulin, rocks, willow, broom and sticks. First we collected a lot of willow and broom. We then stuck sticks in the ground marking our raft a large circle on the outside and a small one in the middle. Then we put the willow and broom in the middle of the circles and tied the broom and willow together. We had a circle out of broom and willow the sides need to be big so that the water didn't flow in. We put big sturdy sticks in the middle to sit on, then we got our tarpaulin and wrapped it around our raft. Then we took it into the river and floated down. Some of ours sunk but only one didn't make it. When we got to the end we took them apart and had a swim in the river. We jumped off the rocks and into the water.
