Feeding On Decaying Matter…
Monday, June 23, 2008 18:05This week (ahem – last week) we took part in a Photo Scavenger hunt. It turned out not to be quite what people expected (more of a treasure hunt) but was fun anyway. We split up into three teams, each armed with a digital camera of some description and an instruction sheet which featured some common sense safety advice and a list of 20 items. Each group had to a photograph which represented each item in the list whilst paying attention to the important information tt the bottom of the sheet. The list was:
Relaxing Place- The letter ‘Z’
- Human Pyramid (min. Six people)
- Yellow Car
- “I can’t believe we all fit in here”
- Uniform
- Team Reflection
- Unusual Perspective
- Leap Frog
- Abstract Architecture
- Yummy
- Bubbles
- Second Hand
- Gum
- Tattoo
- Interesting Number Plate
- Blue Food
- Questionable Sign
- Scar
- Lego
- <your choice>
Points were awarded for satisfactory interpretations of the requirements – and teams were given the chance to explain or argue their interpretation – but bonus points were awarded for creative interpretations of the requirements. Extra bonus points available for photo 21 (and for using the form correctly).
Unfortunately no-one has sent their photos through to me so I can’t include them here (the pics above are stolen from Alex’s photo album – if you’re on Facebook, you should be able to see it here; if you’re not on Facebook yet, why not?).
The title of the weekly updates isn’t usually explained, but is normally instantly understandable by those who attended; this week it is based loosely on the photos the teams submitted for photo 11 – “yummy”, and on the dictionary definition of Scavenger:
scav·en·ger (skăv‘ən-jər)
n.
- One that scavenges, as a person who searches through refuse for food.
- An animal, such as a bird or insect, that feeds on dead or decaying matter.
Congratulations: to Alex who has passed her Driving Test since we met last week! Yay!
Next Week (ahem, this week): weather permitting (looks ok at the time of writing), we’ll be heading to the park to play frisbee (ultimate if we have enough people) and other exciting open-space games.
