Rockclimbing
Rockclimbing was so much fun but I didn't like the part when I came back down because it felt like you were dropping off a tall tower. Nervously climbing up one of the highest walls, I wondered to myself,"can I do this?" When one of the parent helpers made the rope tight for me to climb up, I knew that it would be alright.
What if I learned to rollerskate?
Learning how to rollerskate on wheels. I felt like I was going to fall because someone pushed me to the ground. I stand up and chase that person. And when I was riding I slipped and hit my head to the ground again and I felt so sad. At the end of skate I felt so excited because that person said they were so sorry. And then we jumped in the car and went to rock climbing.

The Wednesday Camp
HI! There is a great team called TEAM SPIRT! The first day of camp was super fun and was heaps of exercise. One of first things we did was camp cooking with Mrs Flavle. We made rice crackles and green lamingtons. After that we had morning tea and wait here is one of the coolest things that you do. When your not travelling everywhere, you go out canoeing, or as some other people say kayaking. The first time you do it, it's a bit hard but then you get the hang of it and you get better and have loads more of fun. The last thing we did was Orienteering which was held by Mr J. He tells you what to do. You get to do 1 course for your warm up. There are 5 cards that are coloured red and they are in the same area. Then straight after that we do a coures with yellow cards and there are 27 cards to find. All you need is a compass and an answer sheet with a pencil. When that was over we had afternoon tea and went to the hall, got our bags and set up our beds for Wednesday night.
