Year 5 camp 2010

Year 5 camp 2010 started Friday night after the BBQ. We had to put the tents up and in our tent Josh got stuck inside whilst trying to put it up. We slept two nights but stayed there for three days.

The first thing we did was the treasure hunt. We had to find numbers on laminated card and put them on our map. Our name was Bluebell Pirates because we had to name it after a flower or tree. We also had a crossword to fill in.We filled it in by answering questions told to us by the teachers once you've found that number but you had to find them in order.

Next we built shelters using hard and smooth willow. The smooth willow was easy to bend.     The hard willow was for the base to help it stand up. There was also willow with leafs on them to make it warmer. Some people such as Jamie put grass on there shelters.

Last of all we had a water fight and I had a really good gun, it was a Super Soaker. I was General of our team.

Year 5 Camp 2010

Our class had Year 5 camp!!!

On Saturday moring our class had 4 teams which were, Star Riders, S.S.X's, Bubbling Over and Beautyfies.

In the morning we did some cyling. And we were allowed to cycle around the school free after passing our cycling test.

 After lunch we had a mad water fight. It was literally MAD!!!We had two teams with the water fight competing with one another trying to get the flag.In the afternoon we did shelter building and we made our hall into a city.

Before bed we had hot chocolate and doughnuts in front of the fire, and Mr Lavis told a spooky story called the silent women.
In the night me and my friends couldn't stop chatting.

The next moning i was the first to wake up in our tent.I tried to wake up my friends them up but only one of them woke up. So me and my friend went into the hall and left our other friend sleeping in our tent.Me and my friend were playing around in the hall.  Eventually she woke up and came into the hall with us.

We had breakfast and then we had to tidy up the tents, pick up the spare rubbish left over the field and then we went home.

Year 5 Camp

On Saturday we had to find all the objects for the treasure hunt. There were 13 challenges and we had to find some silky stuff and crumbly stuff etc.

After the treasure hunt we went on a cycling practice to get better on the bikes. Here is a picture

After the cycling we had some lunch we had rolls and  water melon. After that we had a massive water fight. Brandon squirted Mrs Dolman and then Mrs Dolman tipped a bucket over Brandon's head.

Next we made shelters with differnt types of willow and some branches. 

Then we had to vote a boss to help build the city.Here are some pics.  by Josh

Arts Week - Japan

All of White Rhino Base have thoroughly enjoyed arts week. We began the week by watching Laputa: Castle in the Sky. In the film the heroes try to find legenday floating cities, this inspired us to make our own floating islands.  On top of the islands we made is a Shinto shrine (Shintoism is one of the main religions in Japan) and set them in a peaceful zen garden.  The film also inspired us try a cartoon style, that the Japanese invented, known as manga.
The most famous artist from Japan is Hokusai. He made paintings and prints about 200 years ago. Using card we made copies of his prints onto paper.  Above you can see a picture of Kokeshi dolls that we made. The dolls are supposed to have no arms or legs but their painted faces are supposed to show sweetness.
