Year 5 Camp by Mr Willson - Parent Governor

To all of Year 5


Thank you for an enjoyable weekend Camping and your thank you card, this i really appreciated.  Thank you also to the parents for my gift.


I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you all and i hope you all enjoyed your camping experience! What were your best moments?  The best bit for me was Mr Lavis's campfire story with campfire doughnuts!!


During the Camp Weekend you all made some fantastic shelters from willow, leaves and branches. All of them looked good enough to sleep in. Talking of sleep, i have just about caught up on mine, after a few early morning starts.


Thank you all.


I'd like to wish you all a very enjoyable Summer Holiday.


Best Regards

Yr5 Camp 2010

We all made shelters out of willow trees. To make it we had to dig some tall and strong willow sticks into the ground. Then we weaved leafy willow between the strong willow.  Next we put on the leafy willow vertically to make it camouflaged. Next we could decorate it with anything we could find e.g. grass to make it look like a hill.

There was a massive water fight between two teams, playing capture the flag.  Afterwards there was a normal everyone vs everyone water fight.

Scott had the best water pistol, it fired loads of water in every shot. Scott brought two guns one was a shield with powerful jets of water coming out of three different holes. Lots of people brought super soaks.

We did an off road biking test. The hardest thing was taking a cup off a table then riding to the other side of the table and putting the cup back on,without falling off the bike or putting your feet down. Afterwards we were allowed to do what we wanted to do on our bikes except go out the grounds.

We also did treasure hunting for treasure cards so we could have sweets.

year5 camp

On Saturday we we had bike riding lessons, it was fun. We had to do all kinds of stuff, including picking up a cup of water whilst cycling.  

Then we went for a free ride, we could go in the astro, playground, car park and field.

And then we had lunch. 

Next we had a massive water fight. We split in to two teams. We had to capture a flag and bring it back to our base. But if we got wet we had to go back to base.

   

After that we built dens, it was exciting. We only used willow but different types of willow.

We  were going to sleep in them but it was too cold. They are still up behind the astro so feel free to have a look.

Our Cool Camp !!

Hey, year 5 camp started Friday night after the BBQ ..... Then what happened was everyone went home and the people who were doing year 5 camp stayed (obviously) for 3 days and 2 nights .. Me and my best friend slept in a tent together.. The first tent wee slept in had ants in the tent, it was funny because when we went to bed there were loads of ants. It was really funny because we woke up in the morning and we had ants in our bags that had our clothes in and the ants went in our cover..... And every-morning it was really annoying because my friend kept waking me up.... And then on Saturday we made this city thing, and we had a water fight and made a shelter with my friends. We did a treasure hunt that was hard but my mates mum and dad helped us, which was kind of them Also me and my friend went shopping with one of the teachers who stayed with us through the day and night but she didn't stay all the night, she went home... Before bed we had a fire on and we had doughnuts ... yum yum .... I always wanted to get in ma PJ's, my mate laughed at me and we sat in our tent, it was really fun. Afterwards we went to bed but me and my friend couldn't sleep. We missed our mummy's (but we were fine because  we hugged each other:)... On Sunday morning before breakfast we had a play. Then we had breakfast, brushed our teeth and brushed our hair (well the girls did). Well that's it for now if you have read this thank you and sorry about all the writing ... bye bye .... :) WE HAD A GOOD WEEKEND, I hope you did. By Mikaila Y5 .

Y5 Camp 2010

The BBQ started at 6:00pm and our class, year 5 of course, was given a hot meal card so you could get a free burger.  At 9:00 everybody went home but year 5 slept at the school for the night camping. At 10:00 we went to bed and me and my friend went to sleep at 1:00 and woke up at 5:00 in the morning. Our deputy head teacher set something up in the hall because she does not want us playing football at 5:00 in the morning. 

On Saturday, in the morning we had breakfast and then I had to write a shopping list and my teacher said it was my neatest writing ever!!!We went to play football and then we did a treasure hunt and we were in parners. We won 10 sweets each. After that we did some cycling.  Then we had some lunch because the shoppers came back. It was nice but the water melon was the nicest of all. After lunch we had a water fight but is was not exactly a fight. Next we played football again. After that we made shelters and when they were finished we had a 45 minutes break.  Tea came and Brandon's chilli was lovely. Miss Grant made chocolate and jam doughnuts. Me, my friend and the head teacher played 'pull'. Then he told us a story and we went to bed.

In the morning we tidied up and went home
