Our Gully Hut at School - Boys Fun

Sorting it out again.

Finding it a mess.

It started with us looking for a hut.  We found a shaded place, where we didn't have to cut trees down, to make a hut in the gully.  So we asked Mr B, the teacher, for permission to go into the gully and he said "Yes".  Josh got the wood from old picnic tables and we found another picnic table in the gully, as well as shoe lockers.  It used to be a dumping ground for all the old school lockers and gear, but luckily the place we found was not a dumping ground.  It was clear and shady there.  We never had time to play in our hut because we were too busty building steps down into the gully. 
Every Thursday we go for a bush walk in the gully for a treat and it's a great adventure for us boys.  When we play in the hut, we build and build our hut to make it bigger and stronger and to grow our muscles.   When we're there we don't have to eat a big lunch because we can eat the grapes and blackberries that are growing there.  They are sweet and delicious.
We talk about what we're going to do next when we're in the hut.  We also talk about boys stuff - like what we're going to do when we're older and we listen to the moaning and groaning girls.   Most of the time we find stuff to put in our hut, when we're on our bush walks.

It was an old deserted hut but now its a great big area for us to have fun in.

Making Huts

Following a plan from Gail Loane's book - 'I've got something to say'.

I like making huts.  I made my hut in the kitchen.  I use old soft mattresses and woollen blankets, which go over tall, wooden stools.  I bend over to fit in the hut, using my torch to see as I read my books and play with my cars.             By Adam


I like making huts.  I made a hut in my bedroom.  I made my hut with soft mattresses and fluffy pillows.  I used chairs to hold everything up.  Ben comes along and says:
"It sucks"
"Well, your one is not any better".
"Yes it is"
"No it's not"
"Yes it is"
"Nooooo".       Ben tries to bust my hut but he doesn't.  I end up getting in trouble and Mum tells on me and sends me to my room, for punching him.

I like making huts.  I mad huts in my room.  I use two big, old, soft mattresses and four big wooden chairs.  I grab some bananas and sandwiches to eat in the hut.  I build my hut to have some fun.

Sumdog

I really like Sumdog because it doesn't even feel like you're learning.  I like the games you learn on.  The best one is bunny hop.  The other games are street race, tower climber, talent show and alien zap.  Sumdog is an online maths game- it is really cool.
