I'm stuck on a desert Island...

​I’m stuck on a desert island…
 
This week we had some fun with our writing all whilst using our super brains!
We discussed what would we bring if we were stuck on a desert island. BUT… we put some boundaries around the piece of writing (because we wanted to challenge our team).
 
Please enjoy these creative pieces which we can assure you, caused so much conversation and lots of laughs within the team. You as the reader will be looking for the three main key points given to our bloggers in their brief:
 
1 The Island name
2 What does the Island look like?
3 What 3 – 5 items would you take with you?
 
Enjoy! This one was a lot of fun and the best part, it was suggested by our blogger Jess!
 
 
Hello Readers! How are you all?
Today I'm going on my own adventure to a historic deserted Island named the Angea Island.  The Island has been deserted for 100+ years.
I have just landed and it's so pretty with wildlife. I have just remembered that I brought very limited supplies.  I've bought 3 water bottles, 1 packet of original Pringles and a phone without the charger. I'm in BIG trouble! My family is probably wondering where I am but they will never know because I have NO data or service to contact them.
 
What would you do and take if you were on a deserted Island?
 
Now it's been 20 days and I have just finished half my packet of Pringles, a water bottle and my phone battery is on 66%. I am in grave danger!

The wildlife has disappeared and I'm trying to hunt for some food to eat because I'm so so hungry. I need so much help! There is no more battery on my phone, I can’t even take photos anymore!
 
20 minutes later... It's been over 20 minutes since I've blogged what I have been up to on this miserable and pathetic Island. I have searched through and through, this deserted mysterious and jungle is so thick, but it is colourful.  Oh!!! Did you hear that!??   I’m sure I just heard a species of animal, but it has flown away.  What am I going to do?!
 
It has now been over 20 days and I have spotted a helicopter and I believe that they have spotted me form way up in the sky. Heck yeah!! I have been rescued and brought back home.  Thank goodness!
 
Oh no!! I've left my phone on the island....  I wonder if I can go back and get it!??
 
Did you enjoy my story? 
What part did you like?
 
Thank you so much for reading! – Angelina.
 
 

Today's blog is about what you would take to the island, it's an interesting topic. This topic reminds me of one of my favourite shows, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. This is a show where they compete for food and it is airing next on the 24th March. There have been loads of celebrities I've heard of on this show, but also some I have not. 

Some of the things I would take to the deserted island are a bottle of water, blanket, a mat to sleep on, and some insect spray to keep the bugs away and enough snacks to last me 1 year. I would love the Island to have lots of trees with branches to keep some of the rain off myself. My island would be called Jungle Adventures where something different happens each day. I think if it wasn't interesting, I would get very bored.

Every day on the Island I would wake up and make sure my bedding did not have any bugs or insects in it. I would just get out and explore nature and enjoy the sunshine of the sunny days. There are many movies and TV shows related to the jungle, another one is The Jungle Book and there is a movie called George of the Jungle.

This week's joke is related to Camping.  

What did one marshmallow say to the other around the campfire? 
Time to get Toasty! 
 
I love marshmallows especially when they are toasted as they are nice and crunchy and yum. – Scarlett
 

 Today we had a lot to talk about with this unique topic at hand. “If you were stuck on a deserted island what 3-5 items would you take and why?” We had a lot of discussions about this topic so we decided to make a topic of our thoughts.

So let me list my chosen necessary items for survival.

1: A radio tower, useful for connection and radio frequencies and power source for broadcasting and telecommunications and WIFI, put it on the highest point on the island and it will use the radar in the middle across the whole island so everywhere will have the connection.  

2: Underground bunker for emergencies and liabilities against harsh weather and wildlife, most bunkers have a small simple bed and emergency items for survivability and ventilation, canned food is already supplied by these bunkers, it's not the most luxurious thing but I’m talking about survivability here, you may never know what you'll find.

3: Next will be my boyfriend, I will refer to him by his nickname, Kit
of course it is going to get very lonely and who else would you need to help you survive this ordeal?  Oh wait we're not actually playing a survival game are we, well it don't matter company is company and I feel I don't need another reason for including him.

4: Various seeds of fruits and vegetables to make spices as well, you have to have fresh produce as well but things will rot quickly so why not make your own fresh produce, sure it'll take a few months but it'll be worth the fresh wait for nice greens and fruits.

5: last but no means least a solar generator to power the whole island and provide electricity and protection from elements and the unknown.

My island will have a mountain in the centre, potentially may or may not be a volcano but, volcano's do give a potential for really good soils and useful resources after the magma has cooled down so about that name I shall call it “The island of useful resources” because I shall make the island a trading centre. – Holly
 
 
 Dear TJ, 
 
I am writing to myself from the desert island. I am stuck on the island of Aniwa, near New Caledonia. It is hot and it is dry. I might survive. I have my water bottle and cool orange clothes for a hot day because every day is a hot day.
 
My goggles and snorkel will come in handy so I can catch fish under the water.
There are beautiful trees, sand, and clear water to see the fish to eat. I need to cook them with matches and lucky there are trees to chop down to make a fire.
 
I think I will survive on this Island. – TJ
 
 
 
Dear readers, last week's topic was what would you bring to a desert island.
 
Let me start by telling you about what I would do if I was stuck on Island Charlotte.  Lucky for me my Island already has palm trees with coconuts on it, and banana trees with real bananas on it.  
 
There are five things that I would bring to survive, to help me survive for 40 days. A survival kit, sleeping bag, a snake aid, a flint with matches back-up and clothes.
 
Lucky for me there are coconuts and bananas, I have this food to eat. I need to build a shelter and my survival kit has the tools to do it.  I can build a fire with the flint and matches. 
 
I would write in the sand “SOS” and I will use my clothes to keep warm as I sleep in my sleeping bag. If a snake bites me, I would use the snake aid kit. How would I feel?  Fine and also anxious because I know that even though I'm stuck on an island I would be rescued by helicopter in 40 days.
 
What do you if you were stuck on an a desert island? – Charlotte
 
 
 
If I was on an island the name of my island is called Mango. What does it look like?  It’s beautiful, clean, with white sand, surrounded by palm trees, crystal clear blue water, covered with rainbow coloured rocks, cliffs, beautiful wildlife, and a lot of mango trees. The five things I will take with me are.
 
1 Water
2 Food lollies and chokies
3 Sleeping bag to keep warm
4 Mango my soft toy cat to cuddle with and give me comfort
5 Jess my good friend for entertainment and company.
 
Thank you for reading my blog Beth
 
 
 The five things I would I take with me if I was stuck on a desert island are a surviving bag which contains all the essential things I will need for example, water, non perishable food, a first aid kit , cash, prescription medication, extra batteries, matches, a toothbrush toothpaste, some soap, sleeping bag, solar power flash light , solar power block charger, cord.

The second thing is foldable tent where I can sleep at night and when it rains I won’t get wet.

The third thing I would bring my phone because it’s entertaining and I would play games that don’t use internet.

What would I name my island? The Sunset Island, it’s beautiful and It’s surrounded by white sand and it will have a large pond with fresh natural springs water which is safe to drink and it will also have palm trees for shade. 

What would you do if you were stuck on an island ? Thank you for reading. – Alannah

Hello there again my gorgeous readers, today we are blogging about what would you take to a desert island. I want to ask what you would take if you were stuck on a desert Island?

The Quote Of The Day
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. 

What would I take to a desert island?

Sunscreen, first aid kit, water purifier, bulk cases of 20 year shelf life survival food, and a tent. What does my desert island look like?
The blue clear waters of the Southern Great Barrier Reef, perfect for relaxation and gorgeous sunsets everyday. I'm here to swim in the ocean, and to enjoy my time. I am going to make the most of it. This is a holiday for me.  

How am I surviving:
I won’t get burnt because I have my sunscreen, nothing is biting me as I have my first aid kit. My tent is set up, and I can have many good sleeps without the mosquitos and spiders.
 
What would you do if you ended up on a desert island without all of your stuff?.

What would I take to a Deserted Island?
 
My Island is called Mermaid Dolphin Fairy Island.
 
We are only allowed to take five things and with great thought these are the things I would take:-
 
1) I would take a big ocean liner cruise ship, that has all the wi-fi facilities with TV’s and music equipment and with the modern facilities that we use in today’s modern world.
 
2) My five beautiful companion dogs Snowy, Prince, Lucky, Squeaky and Gracie.
 
3) Lots of food and drinks such as cans of no-sugar coke, no-sugar creamy soda, no-sugar lemonade and raspberry cordial. Also sweet snacks, low fat desserts are my favourite. I also love Italian, Indian, Mexican, Thai, Indonesian and Asian food which I can cook. Plus food for breakfast, fruit, veggies and of course a huge cutlery set that has plates, cutlery, bowls and cups. I will also take mine and my dog’s medications and vet supply’s.
 
4) Clothes, all for summer and a few warm things for the night time, shoes to protect my feet and my personals products.
 
5) Notebooks, journal books, pens, markers and highlighters.
 
My island is tropical, and the weather is very warm and tropical so I do lots of swimming. I am in the water a lot and I spend most of my time in the water with the mermaids, the dolphins and the fairies. There are lots of palm trees.  My dogs and I are having so much fun which I love most.

My Island is called Mermaid and it’s stunning.
 
Let me describe it. There is white sand everywhere ,the water is a beautiful aqua colour and so inviting with the most amazing coral, it’s surrounded by palm trees to give shelter from the sun.
 
We are only allowed to take 5 things, OMG what do I take?
 
Well of course Robert my finance and the other 4 things I have decided on are my phone with a portable solar charger
Water - 365 bottles of 3 litres each. Matches for Robert to light the fire to cook the fish, he will catch and cook our food which was difficult to decide on but after discussion we settled on canned food such as soups and veggies and after a trip to Anaconda dehydrated food designed for camping and a sleeping bag for us to rest on.
 
For me being on Mermaid Island with my own Tarzan (Robert) would be a dream come true. What do you think and what would you take on a desert island.
 
Memo to Cindy next time I get an idea don’t listen to me! 
 
Love the Jess the Mermaid Island.
 
 
 
What would you take to a desert island? 
 
Hello Friends,  
 
So, this blog shouldn't be too hard, I've only got to name this desert island that I'll be stuck on, describe it and tell you what 3-5 items I would bring to this island. Righto let's do this! 
 
Are you ready for my Island name? Here is what I'm calling my Island; Mulysa Mahkra. I had to get extremely creative with what I was going to call my lovely Island that I've just been dumped on. Think “I’m a Celebrity get me out of here.” kind of entrance. Like I was just dumped from the sky onto this island and left to fend for myself. Sounds truly amazing right?  
 
Now to what I'm going to have dropped on Mulysa Mahkra Island, my first item that I will be taking is not an item at all, but a human named Bear Grylls, why Bear Grylls you ask? Because I want to come out of this alive and I have no knowledge of how to survive on this island. You know who does though? Bear Grylls. This makes it hard to think of anything else to bring, anything else I might need Bear Grylls will have the answer for. I’ll bring a spare pack of clothes; trackies (tracksuit pants), a hoodie, a T-shirt and my unicorn Oodie. So, with Bear Grylls that's 5 things. What Bear Grylls brings is none of my business, it will be a bonus if it helps us stay alive though.  
 
What does Mulysa Mahkra look like you ask? Mulysa Mahkra is an Island that is very simple and literally is surrounded by nothing but the ocean. All round ocean views sound beautiful, you know once you get past the part that you're stuck on a desert island. Picture a whole heap of sand and a little clump of trees in the middle. There is a blanket of grass under and around the trees, the only wildlife you'll see is the colorful fish in the sea and the sharks that eat them. 
 
I'm confident that I will survive this experience because of my genius idea to bring Bear Grylls to my wonderful Island. I will also be learning new skills and finding creative ways to go about the day-to-day things we take for granted, like having food and shelter.  

Go right on ahead and have think about what you would take with you to a desert island, just not Bear Grylls. Thats my idea, I'm claiming it. 
 
Notice anything about my island name? Thats another thing to think about. (Ugh homework)  
 
Love you friends  - Shan
