Camp Blog

Last month we went to the hall to learn about camp.
Two days later we finally set of to camp. the camp was Carey Park Christian camp 
We traveled in cars not bus it wasn't  that far away.
When we got there we had to wait because the cleaners where running late.
While we waited we met the staff and we got told the rules and where not to go.
Finally we got to go in our cabins and put our bags in them.
At 4 pm we went to our first activity wich was kyaking, it was realy fun after that the people that had duties did them while the other people looked around the camp at 6 pm we had dinner which was a child friendly curry, veges, rice, chicken and bread.

After dinner we had a games night we had four games. the games where ant eaters and fairy god-mothers, red light green light, paper scissors rock and never ending tag. Then we had supper
after that we had time to get ready for bed then after about 20 minutes we went to bed.
When we woke up we couldn't leave our cabins till 7.00 am but after we were allowed to have showers we had time to get dressed and while people where doing duties for breakfast while everyone else had free time.
For breakfast we had toast, Weetbix and corn flakes and porridge after breakfast we went to our first  activity for the day which was raft building it was slow but worth the time then we had morning tea we had biscuits then we went to our next activity which was rock-climbing  we had lunch it was hot chips and pizza then we  did 1 more activity which before afternoon tea which was more biscuits then we did 2 more activity's which was air rifles and archery after that we had dinner, for dinner we had chicken drumsticks, peas, carrots, salad and broccoli once everyone finished we had desert it was nice pudding then we had our our campfire and our burma, trail we went into the wood's and we had to hold on to a rope it was realy dark but really fun the parents tried to scare us along the way after that we had supper then we went to bed.
just like yesterday we couldn't leave our cabins till 7.00 and had a bit of free time before breakfast then we had one activitywhich was confindince course then we had morning tea then our last activity for the whole camp stay which was flying fox after our last activity we had our last meal which was lunch then we packed up and headed back to school.

Boss camp

Last month we went to camp firstly the flying fox you had to put a full body harness and a helmet on it felt weird because it was an full body harness and because of the weight and it was scary because it was so high at the top but it was really fun going down the instructor asked some people to do a challenge yo hang upside down going down it sounded scary when he said it to me Jed and I was thinking about it and I said yes and it was really fun when you did it. The flying fox was really long too at the end there was a tree some people hit it with there feet.

Secondly the raft building the stuff you used were bamboo 3 gasoline containers 2 barrels and rope.
Your team split in half and your half of your team tries to make a better raft than the other half of your team. After you have made your raft you have to take it in to the waterhole and try to get over to the other side if you get over you add on another person after you have done you get to do the rope swing and maybe the water slide.

Thirdly Air rifles  you had to sit on the bench wait for your turn there was 3 people at a time.
Also you could only shoot 1 bullet at a time after you have shot it once you have to reload.
You have 6 shots each and 3 turns each but if you get it done quick you could get 3 turns  with 3 shots each.

Lastly Archer going down the crunching gravel driveway on to the wooden hut Andre was the only left on the outside handed person that we know so far Andre got two bulls eyes in one go and Jed got two to.

The last night at camp we did a burma trail at pitch black and we had to hold on to a rope and follow it and it went every where like around trees and it went left and right .
There were the adults\ parent helper hiding behind trees to scare us some people grab your leg and  make noises but after we got cooked marsh mellows and they were really yum

Cyber buylling

Cyber bullying is when your on any electronics and for example someone says meet me at the park when there pretending to be there when the other person cyber bullied the person when they met at the park but they thought  that they were meeting different people but they were both cyber bulling.                                                                                                                                                      
Say if Cj went to the park and texted Kate to come to the park to cyber bully her except  Kate came and what if Cj tricked Kate that she was nice but one night she invited Kate to come to her house for a sleep over and when Kate came they had dinner and  the very next morning she made breakfast then she took  a  picture of Kate getting changed into  her clothes [in her under pants and then Kate  screamed and said don't take it or I am calling the police on you [then Cj just put it on facebook]. you little egg head and Cj said don't you dare call me egg head. They had a big fight.

Then Cj said to Kate go back home i don't want to be your friend any more.Kate went home crying to her bedroom. Her mum said whats wrong Kate did not answer.

Freezing

In Harbin which is in the North China  it's -16 degrees! The people in china are building massive sculptures made out of snow and ice they even put lasers in them! At night they glow like a disco ball. Imagine being there it would be great! They even have a ice slides! We looked at this after we had done an ice experiment.
Yesterday we did an experiment on melting ice circles. First we wrote numbers from 1 to 6 on a sheet the title was ice ice baby. Then Miss Cheeseman rolled a dice the winner was the one who melted it fastest Jaydens group.  
We rubbed it on the table very hard which got rid of allot of water which made it be allot essayer to melt and later everyone's ice melted.
it was existing because I thought that it would't melt but it did until we broke it.
