On Tuesday the 28th of June 2011 we gathered in the Python class room to receive a sum of 18 Unit standards that needed unpacking. We weren't very happy about the situation but it needed to be done and so we started with our work and finished it all in one day! We sat in the class the whole day only focusing on our work.
On Wednesday we were split up into groups to do EM distribution at the different destinations. Our group did the stalls and the academy:
Stalls: 9.5L
CVP hedge: 2L
Academy: 2.5L
Total: 14L
We then begun with ink-berry when they called us to help clean the landing strip.We picked up the wires on the ground and scraped off the cow dung and we had to fill up the holes. We then finished the ink-berry until lunch. After lunch we cut off branches for the erosion project and we built an erosion strip on a previous road.
On Thursday we got the equipment ready that was needed to complete the day's tasks.We monitored the fence and made a few adjustments. We also had to break out the old Y-standards. We then got more branches in the fire breaks and placed them on the sides because we had no trailer. We also cut off branches that were dead and thorny. After lunch we selected a place on the springbok flats to do our erosion project on. We started building a kraal and we were halfway at the end of the day. We then came back to the academy to write SWOT's.
It's the last day of the week which means hand over meeting. Those of us that are not working the weekend had to get the equipment ready on the cruiser. We then took off to the springbok flats and chose an area to do our project on. We fetched old hay bales and collected cut off thorn branches. We built a kraal and covered the inside with hay and cut off sweat bush. We will be putting branches in the middle so the grass won't blow away.
Week 9 will only be going about assessments because we have fallen behind on it. Only one week to go!!
