On camp we did worm farming. Verity found a huge worm about 15 cm long. I found no worms and I got shocked, because there was a yellow box with a thousand worms in it. I got to have 4 worms in each layer, so I got 8 worms all together. We had so much fun making friends with the worms. :p

The worms were SO GROSS at first but when Verity and I put the worms in the bottles they weren’t so gross anymore. We put soil first, then hay, then more soil, then a tiny bit of hay up to the top and finally tomato, lettuce and strawberries. Verity put an apple core in her worm farm.

We had a good day. 😀 😛

Well a lot of things happend in free time, Brooke got duck poo on her by a flock of ducks that flew by, Elissa went to hospital and both of us fell down a pile of grass just to name a few. On the first day, free time took place near the bunk house and on the second day it took place around the volleyball court. Free time was really fun, because we got to choose from a range of different sports equipment, like soccer balls and Frisbees. Sometimes we would have free time if we had finished eating early, but we didn’t have much time to. During free time we both used cricket stumps as walking sticks and rowing paddles, it was so funny. Now comes Elissa, she went to hospital, because she had something in one eye,  she couldn’t  watch T.V. or read for two days. Now the funny part was Brooke. She got pooed on by a duck flying by. Now us two, we were just walking along when we didn’t realise that a pile of grass was in front of us, and we fell over it. Rosie’s opinon: I think if I had to rate free time I would give it 7 1/2 rubber chickens with a side order of chicks! Bethany’s opinon: I think free time was absolutely fantastic, and I would give it 8 rubber chickens with no side order.

The Year 3s had a fantastic time on their first school camp to Woodhouse on Monday and Tuesday this week. The weather was brilliant and the students got to experience a wide variety of activities. The students had the opportunity to do some problem solving games, rope bridge making, pond study in the onsite wetlands, a night walk, mini quiz night, billy cart racing, worm farm making and explore Challenge Hill. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed all the new experiences.

A big thank you to our parent helpers Bec Smailes and Margot Way. We really appreciated their enthusiasm and assistance throughout our camp. A special thank you to Miss Verrusio for joining us on camp and assisting Mr Baldock. We would also like to thank our instructors from Wilderness Escape, Moira and Al and their work experience person Cherry for all their preparation and running really engaging activities. Above you will find several blog posts created by the students on certain aspects of our camp experience. We hope you enjoy our reports and a slide show below of all the photos from our camp.
