Camping Adventures!
Thanks for all your swimming comments. It sounds like everyone has enjoyed all the swimming at school over the last few weeks. Our Grade 3 - 6 students have just returned from a fantastic adventure camp at Coonawarra and I'm sure many of you may have gone camping over the Melbourne Cup long weekend. Share with us your highlights and what you love about sharpening the saw in the great outdoors!

ReplyDeleteI liked going on the flying fox because it was fun to go across the river. I also liked going on the rock climbing wall. But everything I did was fun!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was one of the lucky grade 4s that got to go on camp. I had a really good time. there was a really fun ride that was called the giant swing I went all the way to the top and you had to pull a yellow rope which made us suddenly drop and the feeling was amazing. My second favourite thing was the flying fox it was 300m of awesomeness
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the hut building and the raft making because I love making things with logs and sticks. I also liked the flying fox because it was fun looking over the lake. In raft making we made a raft out of pipes and planks and then we tested our raft to see if it would float. It was really fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED camp so much!!! My favourite activitiy was the flying fox. The flying fox was EPIC!!!!!!

I liked sleeping in a hut. Jonah
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed camp! it was action packed fun!!! my favourite was the flying fox. I also enjoyed the giant swing. Georgia.
ReplyDeleteCamp was so much fun!! My favourite activities were the giant swing and the flying fox. In the giant swing, you were harnessed to rope tied to another rope which the other kids in your group pulled the other end of the rope which pulled you up to the height of 14 metres maximum. Then you pulled a yellow rope which made the two ropes fall apart.You went flying backwards and it was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteI loved the flying fox ! I wish I could do it again. Ben
ReplyDeleteCamping is really fun because you spend time with friends, learn new things and more skills. You have 7 different activities to do over 3 awesome days. These activities include raft making, hut building, canoeing, rock climbing, giant swing and the flying fox. When you go on the giant swing you get to put on a harness you then get pulled into the air by the other kids in your group and once you think your high enough you say stop then the kids count down 3, 2, 1 then at one you yank a yellow rope and you drop.
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun! I liked raft making because when the raft fell apart it was funny. Harry . s

ReplyDelete1 - Giant Swing
2 - Flying (Fennec) Fox
3 - Rock climbing
To all the grades lower than 3 I say . . . YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) !!!
I'm am a grade 4 so I went on the Coonawarra camp. At the place they had heaps of fun things to do like the flying fox. The flying fox goes over the huge river where the other groups canoe plus it goes 300m long it was so fun it feels like your flying
ReplyDeleteCamp was so much FUN! I enjoyed all the activities, but some of my favourites included canoeing, because we had to Synergise, and the Flying Fox because it was so high and fast! I enjoyed camp so much and I hope everyone else did too! I would like to thank the teachers for taking us and looking after us and parents who helped us pack and let us go to camp!
ReplyDeleteCamp was so fun. One of my favourite activities were ropes.It was very scary but I got all the way to the end, we used synergise because you have to synergise with your partner. I also liked the flying fox because I've never done it or something like it. I would like to thank the parents for paying for us to go on camp and teachers for looking after us.
ReplyDeletewhile everyone was at camp, I made my own story and used the ipad. If I did go to camp my favourite would be the horse riding.
ReplyDeleteAt Coonawarra camp I had so much fun! my favourite thing was horse riding because we got to go in the bush. My horse was called junior it was a big black horse. but the giant swing was 18m and I did it from the top it was I bit scary but not really. I also liked the flying fox but I think I like the rock climbing better I made it to the top of both of the walls.
ReplyDeletecamp was very adventurous it was a great experience. My favourite activity at camp would be horse riding my horse was named Leanly the annoying thing about him would be that he moved his head a lot ha-ha but he was very cheeky and a beautiful light brown caramel colour!
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing us to camp teachers and I would like to thank the staff and everyone else you have been a great help.
On camp we went to Coonawarra, it was really fun. All the year fives and sixes went horse riding, and my horse was really tall and he was brown, his name was Ty-ton, Ash's horse was named junior and Rach's horse was named magpie he was white with black splats all over him or her. There was all so a huge swing it was 18 miters tall and most of the people in my group went to the top.
ReplyDeleteWell I had lot of fun at camp, we had lot of activities I had a couple of favourites I loved the horses mine was called Rango one day he will be a racer he was so fast. I also liked the raft making we sank, also the ropes you had to balance. Thank you to my mom and dad for paying for this wonderful camp and all the teachers for helping out. this was my first school camp and it was great.
ReplyDeleteAt Coonawarra there were all types of different things we could go on like, Flying fox, Horse riding, Giant swing, Raft making, Canoeing, High ropes and Rock climbing. The horse that I rode on was called Puddles. My favourite was the Giant swing. Most of these things I have never done before and that was what made camp fun. The first and second days were hot except for the last day. The last day was freezing cold and pored with rain. Camp was fun as!!!
ReplyDeleteIf I was asked what my three favourite activities on camp I would say raft-making, flying fox and horse riding. However all in all camp gave me a beneficial, recreational activity (if you don't understand that it means I had fun on camp). Peace out!
ReplyDeleteCamp was amazing!!! I couldn't describe it any other way. It was so fun. I loved the activities and I have to say cannoning was my favourite even though we ended up soaking wet. It was so fun to synergise with my friends. It was fantastic I cant wait to go again next year! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is my first day at Parktone Primary. I came from St Peters Primary. The camp there was the best. We went to Mount Evelyn. I love the giant swing because the higher you go the faster you fall. I can't wait to go to this schools camp.:)
ReplyDeleteYou get to sit around a fire and you can cook marshmallows!!
ReplyDeleteI like to go hiking and play games in the sun.
ReplyDeleteI like to get fresh air and you make new friends when camping.
ReplyDeleteI love going and watching kangaroos at the oval near The Grampians. I love riding on my bike and I love hiking.

ReplyDeleteAt camp my favourite 2 things were the giant swing because when you pulled the yellow string it felt like you were going to fall and horse riding because you could control your horse. :D
