In Term 2,
Year 6 head out on their 3 day camp. In 2011, students and teachers headed to
Noosa North Shore. After waving their families good-bye students were ready to
hit the road for the three hour journey to camp.
The bus ride was full of excited students and they sang all the way to
camp.
The weather
was a little cool but this did not stop the students from entering whole
heartily into every activity, including the water ones. The rotational
activities included medium ropes, raft building, body boarding and beach
Olympics. In medium ropes the students had to face their fears and climb across
three different logs trusting that the person holding on to their rope would
catch them if they slipped. Some students were in tears, but were so proud of
themselves when they had conquered their fear and the log. At raft buildings
the students needed to work together to build a raft using limited equipment
and then test their raft in the river. Rafts of interesting dimensions were
built in this activity. Body boarding was the favourite activity. The students
learnt about reading the surf and then got to show their abilities on a body
board in the surf. No one wanted this
activity to end. Beach Olympics gave the students to show off their abilities
in the sand with beach races, flags and other games all taking place in the
soft sand.
On the first night
the night life in the bush were visited by Year 6 with their trusty
torches. The second night gave the
students an opportunity to show off their talents with a talent show. The bus ride home was a little quieter than
the one going with some tired children returning to their families.
