Step One Selecting a context	Lost in the Bush Save the Bush Fun in the Bush
Step Two & Three Create questions and identify one broad question	How would you make a light first aid pack
Step Four What did I already know about my question?	That most first aid kits are heavy
Step Five Design your creation
Step Six Build your creation	This is our first aid kit that we made and it is made out of raincoat material and sewed the sides then taped it to make  it stronger. And we wrote first aid kit on it so people know that it is not a fancy going out hang-bag!
Step Seven Reflection	Not very good because Christina and I were worried that we couldn`t do the hole punch The sewing and making the things to go in it. Measuring the 20cm rain coat and cutting it
Step Eight Evaluate
Feedback - ask some other children what they thought?	Hanna=really awesome sadie and christina. sam=really cool how you made it waterproof. Caitlin=I love how you made the first aid kit waterproof.
