3/4 Camp 2019
Cave Hill Creek
On Monday 17th June the 3/4 students travelled to Cave Hill Creek, where for 3 days. They partici-pated in a range of activities such as photo trail, map reading, archery, bouldering wall, bush cooking, hut building and low ropes and initiatives. Both the students and the teachers had a great time de-spite the cold weather! “Archery was my favourite because of how I worked out which way to aim to get a bullseye. I also liked bush cooking because I learnt how to cook something new.” - Xander, 3/4 JC.
“I liked the bouldering wall because it was challenging.” - Payten, 3/4 JC. “Bush cooking was my fa-vourite because we got to cook it ourselves.” - Mylie, 3/4 WD. “I enjoyed map reading because it was challenging and we all had to work together as a team. “- Elly, 3/4 WD. “I liked bush cooking because we got to eat food and I thought it was funny that Stephany gave some of hers to Ms. Watson.” - Caleb, 3/4 LA. “My favourite part was the hut building because everyone worked together as a team.” - Logan, 3/4 LA. “I really liked bush cooking because I’ve never cooked on the fire before and I burnt the end of my damper but it tasted delicious with the strawberry jam on it.” - Leon, 3/4 RK. “I liked ar-chery because it was challenging to hit the board.” - Connor, 3/4 RK.
