Camp Manyung Newsletter Special

Two weeks ago we embarked on our 3/4 camp to Camp Manyung in Mt Eliza. I'm sure by now that you have all heard a lot of great stories about the camp and the different things that the children got to experience. Below are some comments from each of the children about their first school camp experience and some accompanying photos. We hope you enjoy! Also I just wanted to thank Ms Anto who helped both 3/4s classes put this week's camp feature together!

The giant swing and the flying fox are definitely my favourite activities at the camp because I went all the way to the top and I had to pull the rope to swing, which made it really fun.

- Alexander

I had lots of fun in my cabin, we did pillow fights and stayed up late chatting. I saw tons of crabs during the rock pool ramble.

- Lincoln

Free time during camp was the best because I had lots of time to talk with my friends. Breakfast was really amazing as their chefs were really good at cooking.

When I got to go on the giant swing and the flying fox I was excited because I have never gone on one before and it looked like fun. I also liked the rockpool ramble because I saw lots of crabs there.

I had a disco party in the cabin with my friends. I liked the rock pool ramble activity at the beach because we had to find things on the beach.

I enjoyed playing in the gaga pit ,, I got 10 players out and I won the game. I went really high in the giant swing and when everyone said 1,2,3… I had to pull the string which was the fun bit.

I was very nervous to go on the flying fox but then it was fun and not scary at all. I almost got butterflies in my tummy while I was on the giant swing. I learned a lot about teamwork in the initiative activity with Ms.Georgia. At bedtime I really missed my family but I did finger breathing to help me sleep.

- Liam

I did the giant swing which was very scary in the beginning but when you actually swing, it is fun.

I learned how to put a harness on and climb on the ladder for the flying fox which was very scary but when I finished I wanted to do it again.

Going on the giant swing was the best part of my camp. I went all the way up and I was nervous thinking that I was going to fall down but later I had fun while swinging.
