Sonny's year 8s camp writing !!

We just recently had year 8 camp, on Tuesday the 28th October. We had a long, but fun trip, to the exciting Marsden Bay Camp. It was a two to three hour trip, but I slept most of the way there and back. Along the way we had a stop, to go for a bushwalk. before we got to Waipu cove  students had to take their shoes off, and walk through the stream, but it was not deep like knees high. When we had got to the other side of the stream, we our year 8s put all their shoes back on ready for the walk long ahead of us.

As we had just got to the end of the walk, the long and tiring one, that i’ll thought I would make, I was one of the first ten people there. So we had to wait for all the other year 8s to make it to the end. As they were all there, we were wiping our shoes all over the grass, because of all the mud we got on ourselves.

After that we had a little walk down to the beach where the bus was waiting, but we was not at the camp site at this time. So we just kicked back at the beach and ate lunch, as we were finished we got to go for a swim, but the teachers out in the water as well as us. The swim was like 30 min max and was not allowed to go over our head deep, just like chest deep, but we still had fun.

In the end we had made it to Masson point, so we packed our cabin with our stuff. Then the owner of the camp showed us, the year 8s around the camping site, where and where not to go without a adult. There was heaps of cool thing like a big as, water slide and a flying fox, and much more etc. So by the time we were finished talking about the rules, we got ready for dinner.

then after the dinner, we had putting, it was delicious. Then we got ready for our first night sleep there at the camp site.

I woke up it was a nice day, ready to do all the activities that the teachers had gavin us. But first we had breakfast, we had cereal, then the hot foods like spaghetti on toast and milo. The first activity that we did was surf education, we learnt about rips and currents, and how to know where one is. All we had to look for to find a rip was, to look for the calm patches in the water. When to know when the rip stops, well u look for the last set of waves and that is where it normally stops, unless its a under toe, that will pull you under the water.

The rules in and around water, don’t swim if you're tired or sick because if you get pulled out to sea you might not have the right amount of energy to swim back to the shaw. another reason not to swim is if there is no life guards, and you have dalt, trust your self it could save your life. The life guards told us some other rules, is slip, slop, slap, wrap.

Now this has bring me to my conclusion. Follow the rules to be water smart. Well on the last day we cleaned out our cabins, and got ready for the bus. All the year 8s was going to the hot pools, they was so so flash, they had a movie pool, lava pool, and it was so hot that I could not put my feet in. So we was on our way back to school, and we had to unpack all our bags from the bus and got ready to go home.
