Year 5/6 

Celebrating Learning

5/6 Camp Reflection by Lewis, 5/6A

Monday 8.40 AM

I arrived to the Babajen and it was packed with people, there were bags everywhere and excitement was all around. We lined up in class groups and got onto the bus. Everyone was so excited and loud. The bus trip was long but eventually we turned into Weekaway Camp. Everyone got off the bus and we unloaded our luggage. Then we walked over to the undercover picnic area to eat lunch.

Monday 1.30 PM

 After lunch they announced the cabin and activity groups, and we went off to our cabins to unpack. After some relaxing time, we went off to our first two activities which were the giant maze and archery. 

Monday 7.30PM

Then we had dinner which was Hawaiian pizza. Everyone was complaining that it was the only option, but I didn't find it too unpleasant. We then walked over to a big shed-like building to do some trivia, our group was clueless about a lot of the questions and the only ones we really knew were the anime and manga questions. After the trivia we watched some Disney animations and got into bed. Our cabin kept talking but we eventually got to sleep. 

Tuesday 3AM

At 3 in the morning our cabin got woken up by one of the cabins next to us. 

Tuesday 7.30AM

We woke up and had toast, cereal and scrambled eggs for breakfast, then we did hut building where we had to build a hut out of logs and see which one could survive a bucket of water being dropped on them. After hut building, we did the flying fox.

 Tuesday 12.30

 Then it was time for lunch, which was build your own burgers. After eating, we went to our last set of activities which were laser tag and the possum glider. The possum glider is where you get pulled up about 12 metres in the air by your group and then slowly lowered back down. 

Tuesday 7.30PM

That night for dinner we had bolognaise with a very watery sauce and garlic bread. After dinner we watched parent trap and went to bed. That night our cabin slept super well. 

Wednesday 7.30AM

The next morning, we woke up and went to have breakfast which was pancakes and cereal. After breakfast we did initiatives, which were teamwork and problem-solving activities. 

Wednesday 12.30AM

After that we had lunch, which was chicken wraps. Then it was time for the bus ride back. We packed our luggage into the bus, and it was time to go back. The bus ride was calm and quiet. We arrived back at school, unloaded our luggage and went home.
