For writing this week we were working on 'instruction writing' so we made some instructions on how to do something.
What is quicksand?
Quicksand is normal sand and upwelling water. This makes it act like liquid. However quicksand unlike water doesn't let go without a fight. In ways you could say it acts like a vacuum cleaner and kills you. If you go in quicksand you will sink into the ground, you won't be able to breathe, so you die.
How to escape from quicksand.
Equipment Needed: Stout Pole
1. When you start to sink in the murderous quicksand put the pole on top of the quicksand.
2. Go on your back, on the stout pole. After a couple of minutes the equilibrium (the balance between to forces) in the quicksand will achieve and you will no longer sink.
3. Then put the pole in a different place which is under your hips. Also have it at right angles with your spine.
4. Move on the quickest route to firmer ground.
