Manyung Camp Grade 3

Manyung Camp Grade 3
Camp Manyung By Jorja Burrowes
Last week on Monday the 6th, the grade 3s
went on a bus to Camp Manyung. But before that, Dad and I started packing our
belongings. I felt really scared when I got
to school. We both put our suitcases down
with the other. All of the grade 3s boarded
the bus and drove to Mornington Park we
ate play lunch and played some games on
the oval, like tag.
When we got to Camp Manyung, we went
to our cabin then we had to go straight outside. We saw Alisha standing there.
And she started telling us about camp.
We waited until our first activity. We sat on the tables to talk before that.
It was almost 12.00 and that’s when our first activity started. Group 1’s first activity was Low Ropes and Group 2’s was the giant swing, which I did.
“If you go on the giant swing, I will go on and your dad will go on too,” Miss Withers said as she held out her hand to make a deal with me. I shook her hand in
fright. I waited for 2 more people to finish their swing and then it was my go. I
was really scared then the man pulled the ladder. Then he pulled the rope to me
and put on my harness. The students pulled the rope. “Stop!” I yelled as I looked
down at the ground.” 3, 2, 1!” The man and the students said, as I pulled the skin
colour rope. I fell really fast. I was scared at first but then it was really fun and relaxing. I felt like Indiana Jones when I was swinging in the air. Unfortunately, my
turn ended. Ms Walton said some kids could have a second turn. She chose the
kids that didn’t go as high. My second go was the same but I went a bit higher
than the last time.
After lunch we went on a bike ride. After bike riding, we had afternoon tea and
played outside. After the showers we had dinner. We had roast for dinner the first
night. Then we did trivia. We had a paper costume challenge in the teams. Then
the people covered in paper did a catwalk. We went to bed exhausted.
CAMP MANYUNG Day 2 Tuesday by Jarvis Swaby
In the morning my room had duty to set the tables for breakfast, which was cereal and toast with scrambled eggs. Then we played outside near the basketball
ring. After a while the activities began. My group had UHF radios and the other
group had using the walkie talkies with the challenge sheet. The first group to
finish was team Alpha.
We went back to the Regatta house were we had morning tea and little honey
cakes after a game of footy with friends my group did archery. Emily hit a balloon and I got in the red zone. Every time Paul hit the target we yelled “WOW”!
Next we went to the Regatta house and had afternoon tea and time to practice
our concert act.
Then we had dinner of chicken with vegetables. Which was “delicious” WOW?
Red Faces was amazing .Out of all I think Amity, Charli, Emily, Scott and Noah
where the best group. Afterwards we all had to put our pyjamas on, grab our
pillows to use when we were watching Diary of the Wimpy Kid, and ate lollies.
As soon as the movie ended we did our teeth and went into bed.
