Guess what ??? Toonallook camp finally hit. I can’t explain how good it was, in fact, it was amazing. l have never enjoyed a camp as good as Toonallook before.
At Toona I was put is a tent with some people l don’t usually talk to. But I’m very grateful that I was put the with these people. I enjoyed it so much and I am so glad l got to know a lot of new people. It was pretty funny how many conversations we had in the middle of the night, well actually at
2:00 am. Alright let me just say that there was an animal that got into our bin because we forgot to close it – and we also heard growing which scared the hell out of us. I personally thought it was a snake but I’m pretty sure it was a bird. I was also freezing at night so don’t forget to put thermals on because you will be freezing just like l was.
It’s now the 2nd day. On day 2 we went in the morning to see the water police. It was so cool and really interesting. I think l may want to be one – well not really, it is a big job and it’s scary too. So, maybe not the water police, it was really amazing though.
Sooner than latter it was time to bike ride. It was great. We got to ride on the beach it was actually very easy, well probably because l ride a lot and it was so much fun too.
Then we got to kayaking which one of my favourite things to do. I don’t do it much but I’ve done it before . When we where kayaking I saw my old friend Emma who is in my class last year l said hi and then we had to leave.
it’s expo time! I was in for it all. Hazel and l nearly got lost in the middle of the night. I had no water in my drink bottle and l need my water at night. When l was at the toilets, l scared myself with my torch because thought l saw a wallaby. Thankfully l didn’t but they were only the hard parts- the best parts were putting up our tent, which Hazel and Jaime loved doing.
It was the best having burgers for dinner and even playing Empires which me and Dylan won !!!! That was the best win because we had no one through out the whole game which meant we didn’t have any other teammates just me and my partner Dylan, then we got the last character right so the biggest team had to come with us which was over half the class (actually almost the entire class) and then we won.
There a lots of PLAs that were used at camp.
Resilience is one of them. I used this when I had to kayak in the lake. It was very tricky because there were a few waves pushing us to the shore which wasn’t helpful when its your second time kayaking. Me and my partner had to paddle our way through the waves.
I also used Knowledge when l was biking around camp there was a lot of sand and it can be quite hard riding through sand. I used my knowledge by finding a hard spot in the ground where there’s either clay or hard mud and also using the right gears. We had an amazing Opportunity to ride along the beach. I went 1st- l didn’t know if l was going to fall or slip but l didn’t do any of those ! l went straight through the sand and l was riding along the wet sand so it wasn’t hard at all because wet sand becomes hard like clay so it was quite easy. l am l so glad l tried it because l know for sure, l won’t get to do it again
What is something that you have only done once because at camp or somewhere else?
