Hi parents! We are
finally blogging about camp :) the class has put together a few sentences about their camp experiences for you to read. We have been working on descriptive writing, so it is good to see some vivid vocab being used.
I am still looking for the ideal way to share all of our wonderful photos with you - I shall let you all know when we have found it!
Tiana, Tom, Ben, Matt and Layton
Sadly the children's constant roar forced the birds from their nest in search for quieter places.
When he looked at the sausage it was burnt. He got a new one and then the dark pit of embers did its job.
The flying fox was the most awesome flying fox ever.
I went on the rope swing and swung back and forth at the speed of light.
The musty smell of decaying leaves pushed him away from entering the bivouac.
Ryan B, Ryan C and Georgia
On our way to camp it was a very windy road around the country side. When we arrived the first thing we did was the flying fox. It was awesome, everyone enjoyed it, even Miss Butler did it as well. The food was really cool because we cooked our own. We had sausages and we wrapped some damper dough
around a stick and cooked it. We also roasted marshmellows. Some people had a burnt marshmellow and ate it. Later on we did a glow worm hike through the bush. It was totally pitch black. On the next day we did rock climbing. Some people made it to the top and some didn't.
Kaydyn, Marcus, Rachel and Caitlin
We zoomed past the bush on the strong long zip line on the flying fox. We also enjoyed the confidence course because we fell in the water on the water wheel. We really enjoyed the water activities. Here is Rachel's sentence... I enjoyed the water confident course because I fell in a lot. And here is Marcus's sentence... Marcus enjoyed the kayaking but found the water confidence challenging because the water wheel was too difficult. And here is Caitlin's sentence... The slimy eels slither up my icy legs.
Thomas Allsopp, William, Libby, Oscar and Ricco
The water confidence courses was funny because Thomas fell in the water more than 20 times.
Kayaking was fun because we had to go underneath a log.
The toilets were filled with disgusting cicadas. They were driving us up the roof.
Horse riding was awesome because of all the tricks we did on the horses.
The flying fox was epic because it what really fast and fun.
Byron, Charlie, Jess and Nathan
Byron: at camp we did kayaking. I was nervous at first but when I got in the kayak I got more confident. The person asked me if I wanted to go fast or slow in the water and I asked for it to go slow. when all of us got in she told us to go under a big long log and it was not so thin. If you didn't duck you would of really hurt your head. I did it with out hitting my head. After a while we played a game call tag the kayak. It's when there where three taggers and everyone else had to try not to get tug on the back of their kayak because you could only tag people on there back of their kayak .
Charlie: I liked camp, it was fun. My favorite thing was the flying fox.
Nathan: the most exciting thing there was the flying fox. It goes over a jungle and it looks amazing =)
Jess: The horses were really fun.
Chloe, Genevieve, Isla, Kira and Jamie
Kira, Ryan, Jess and Charlie had the best marshmallow burning competition. We went to the extent of setting her one on fire.
Jamie loved bed time but it wasn't bed time for him. 3:00 am he got to sleep. Ryan and Byron stayed up to the morning.
Chloe was freezing cold in the water.
Isla was not a fan of the mud but she did enjoy the flying fox
Genevieve loved the horse riding.
