At the end of last term, Year 6 traveled to Port Hacking to stay for three days at Telford campsite. It was great but tiring.
Our first activity was rock climbing or abseiling. Some of us had never done abseiling before and really enjoyed it. Rock climbing was difficult. You needed to rely on your friends to pull you up. On the night walk we saw some deer, massive spiders and heard a wallaby. I'm sure he heard us, too. Other activities included canoeing, orienteering, the water slide and archery. Archery was really fun because you could experience what it feels like to be bowman. Orienteering was interesting because no one had experienced it before. You had to use a compass and a topographical map to find markers in the bush. Some people capsized their canoes on purpose. It was refreshing. The water slide was very fast, but the queue was quite long.
During Christian discovery we learnt about Moses and the great escape and Noah and the great flood. We found that God helps people in trouble.
The best thing we did at night was the Quiz. At the end the winning team had to do an act in front of the judges. Whoever could impress them most could earn points. One person from each team had to do the Macarena. It was very funny because no one knew how to dance.
We all enjoyed camp and slept very well when we returned. Year 5, you will love coming to Telford next year. It is a great place. We would like to thank all of the parents and teachers who organised camp for us. It was fantastic experience.
