Today in Hurumanu 3 (Science) we did a lesson on different types of communicating. We had to use some type of code so David, Reuben and I used Semaphore. Semaphore is a way of communicating using two flags. Each half has to be a different colour, the main colours are red and yellow but we used blue and green. Semaphore was invented in 1792 by Claude Chappe.
Method. Get two different colour pieces of paper and cut them into triangles.
Learn some different letters. Go to different ends of the room and try and send a message to each other.
Results.
Evaluation
P.S We didn't get to do this because all of the other groups were doing it as well and we had no time.

Maybe you could continue at lunchtime. I remember my mum and brother doing this when I was a young girl. He went into the navy and communication was his first job.
ReplyDeleteI also had a go at this when I first started Scouting, it was a lot of fun to learn, I have forgotten it now. I do hope that you can have a go, as you can also can have lots of fun.
