On the last day of camp, (if you haven’t read “How to NOT Get Injured at Archery”, the 31st of October) we had no activities except for………………. the one and only amazing water slide! We had to get into our swimmers and meet in the courtyard. After that we walked for around 10 minutes. The water slide was near the rock climbing place (which is around 9 - 10 minutes long…….. obviously). When we reached there we each got a mat or if you wanted to go in pairs one between two. On my first go I went with Sharon. After that I went with Souad, after that I went by myself and after that I went with Souad again. It was really fun! Angelo, one of our instructors said that if you pull up the front of the mat, you would go faster. On the curve of the slide, it felt like you were about to fall off! It was really fun! There were some students who weren’t going on the water slide, they were measuring who had got the furthest splash. Souad and I got the 4th biggest splash! The person who got the 1st biggest splash were actually 3 people. Because when Ranita was coming down after her was Jovan and Solomon who went a bit early and bumped into Ranita and they got the biggest splash! It was really funny and fun.

Well, that is what happened at the one and only amazing water slide!

On the 29^th of October some students from Stage 3 went to the Royal National Park for our school camp. On the first day we had 2 activities, archery and then a river ride. I am going to tell you in this post an explanation on how to do archery.

First of all, you stand sideways and pick your bow up. Then you pick up an arrow and click it on next to the gold part on the string of the bow. After that, you stretch the string up to your cheek and let it go (make sure you aim for the target or it will hit the ground instead!). My highest score was the large red circle. That is the 4th best out of 10.

Well, that is my explanation on how to NOT get injured at archery!

Woo hoo! We are going to camp! A couple of weeks ago we got a notice saying that if we didn’t get 60 campers to go to camp, camp would be cancelled

Luckily, our teacher said that we had enough campers and that camp would still be on! Woo hoo! I was so excited! Just a couple of days ago we got another notice telling us what we had to bring.

Some of the activities are:

• Archery
• Canoeing
• Water Slide
• Rock Climbng
• Indoor Games and
• We might have Absailing

For cabins, there is one 6 cabin which means that you can have 6 people in it and the rest are 4 cabins which means you can have 4 people in it. You do the activities in groups with the people in your cabin. I am going with Sharon, Emily, Sarah, Marcella and Nancy.

I hope I have a good time at camp but I’m pretty sure I will
