News from Mrs. Randall's Classroom

On Thursday the 29th of October, Year 4/5’s went on Camp. They went with Mr Dacy, Mr Hansell, Mrs Randall, Mrs Arnold, Mrs Addley, Mrs Tait, Mrs Strahan and Mr Marchinkie. They stayed 1 night. The place they went to was Camp Goodenough in Balambil, New South Wales. First, they went on the bus. On the bus they watched a movie called “Peter Pan”. It took 1 hour and 20 minutes to get there. When they got there they had to take their luggage down a big hill. When everyone was at the bottom of the hill the instructors introduced themselves, and then told everyone which cabins they were in. After everyone got settled into their cabins, they had a little bit of free time while the lunch duty group set up. Each duty group had to either set the table or clear the table. For lunch we had hamburgers. After lunch everyone had to wash up their own plate, and the lunch duty clean up group cleared the table. After that everyone was ready for their first of two activities, which took all afternoon. One activity was initiative games. A favourite initiative game was twisting the group into a knot then trying to untangle it without letting go of people’s hands. After completing all the initiative games everyone had showers and got ready for dinner, which was lasagne and pancakes, maple syrup and icecream. After dinner everyone took part in a trivia night and a talent show before lights out. The next day, after breakfast, everyone went to their second activity, which was the Flying Fox. Students had to wear a harness and get clipped to a buckle. The instructors pulled each person up to the top of the tower where they stood on a platform before stepping off and flying through the sky to the bottom. When everyone had had a go on the flying fox they all gathered together for lunch before carrying their bags up the big hill to the bus and made the trip back to school. By Katie and Mrs Randall
