Today at camp...
The buses left school at approximately 10.15am. The children headed to the beach at Woodend where they completed a scavenger hunt. Each item had a different value in terms of earning camp cash. Surprisingly this year many children actually found four leaf clovers!!
A beach sculpture competition was held before the dreaded walk to camp.
On arrival at camp the children were met by the camp leaders. Rules were outlined and bunkrooms were sorted. We completed our first rotation of three events: waterslide, aerojump and initiatives. Mrs Cribb even got changed and went down the waterslide - we have video and photographic evidence!! Then we had a quick break for a drink and some biscuits. After that it was on to the next two rotations. There was a little bit of free time before a dinner of nachoes and doughnuts!
Tonight after diary writing and the camp programme the children will go on their night walk, and will then hopefully be so tired they go to sleep immediately.... fingers crossed!
