Year
6 Camp
In Week 7, Year 6 attended a
camp at the Sydney Academy of Sports and Recreation. Camp was a great
experience for me because I got to know my classmates and teachers better.
One of my greatest experiences was when I participated
in the ropes course. Heather (one of the instructors) explained to us how to
put on safety ropes to prevent us from falling. We had to pick a partner to
swap safety gear with and my partners where Ian and William. The ropes where
approximately 4-5 meters high and didn’t look very scary from the ground but when I
was on the ropes it felt like I was 20 meters in the sky. The ropes were quite
wiggly but they were safe. When it was my turn to do the flying fox I was very
nervous. When I jumped it felt like
I was falling down about to hit the floor but then I felt the ropes support me
and before I knew it I was flying in the sky.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner were also a great
experience because we had to do the washing up and serving. For breakfast the boys
in dingoes did the washing up. For a while we didn’t realise that the dishes went
through the machine automatically so we pushed the dishes in manually.
One of the scariest activities was abseiling. Abseiling was a big challenge to everyone because we were walking down a very
high cliff face. An instructor taught us how to put on our safety belts to keep
us from falling down the cliff.
Camp was a great experience for me and taught us how
to interact better with our class mates.
