FIRST DAY

The morning we went to camp I was so excited but then when we got on the bus at 9:00 it was so long so we stopped to play on a playground and ate for about 20 mins. I couldn't wait to start the activities. First we sorted out the cabin and got ready to go explore. We had a look around and saw some other schools. We did some panning for gold. We also went into a red hill mine. It was small but cool and everyone was scared. It looked pretty cool then we went back to the cabins and stayed for a bit until it was dinner time. We ate chicken schnitzel and vegetables and pavlova and cake for Ishaan's birthday for dessert.Then we went to a lightshow and this 3d movie type of thing and Eureka stockade movie and went back to go to sleep. It was cool.

                                        SECOND DAY 

When we woke up ,we had a shower, got changed and brush our teeth. Then we went to eat our breakfast. We had toast and cereal. After that we had to do some olden day school. The teachers were so strict they would hit you and you had to say mum after everything you said to her. And she had to call the boys master before the name and miss before the girls' names.

 Then we had lunch, a chicken burger and chips Then went into the labyrinth. Some people were scared of the noises and it was dark. I was fine. After that group 1 and 2 did candle dipping and I made my candle blue. Then we had afternoon tea. We went back to cabins until dinner. We ate pasta and had apple pie with custard and bread. Afterwards, we went to the talents show and went back to the cabins to sleep.

                                     Year 5 camp

On Monday morning I was so excited to get to school because we had camp for the next 3 days! When I got to school I was talking to my friends about how excited we were. We left school at 9 o'clock. There were 2 buses. Our class got the tiny bus while 5ES and 5RS got the big bus.

The bus ride felt like it took so long. The people I sat next to on the bus were Angus and Reng. The 2 hours on the bus were boring but fun. I tried to go to sleep but reng kept yelling in my ear. At the last hour of the ride Mrs Parmley came to sit in the  back of the bus with us.

We got to the sovereign hill  hotel at around 11.45 in the morning. We had to wait for a little while because our cabins weren't ready yet . Victoria and I were just talking about the cabins and stuff like that. THe people in my Cabin were Areng ,Mary ,Christina ,Clara, Victoria and Mikayla.

A while after that we went to a candle making shop and they showed us how to make a candle. We went to the cabins for about an hour. For dinner we had Chicken schnitzel and for dessert was pavlova and cake. And after that we got to watch a light show

On the 2nd day We went to the Ballarat's st peters deminomational school and we dressed up in costumes. We went to this old church / classroom and the girls got books with two recipes and how to sew. While the boys got actual learning books.

 After school we went to the gold panning and I found little specks of gold . and then we had afternoon tea and I had a banana and two muffins . After that we went to the cabins and I felt really itchy and I had an allergic reaction on my neck.

We went to dinner and I sat with Olivia Zita, Jordell gabby and  Christina . For dinner we had pasta with cheese and a bread roll . For dessert we had custard and an apple .

As soon as dinner was over we had a talent show starring a lot of people. After the talent show we went back to our cabins to go to bed.

On wednesday we had toast for brekkie and cereal. We got into our groups and  group 3 & 4 did candle making . We went gold panning and  I found two specks of gold and I went to buy thing.

On the bus back home, I sat next to Hudson and it didn't feel like it took forever because I basically slept the whole ride. When we got to school my mum came to pick me up. Overall the three days of were really fun.

                                            THIRD DAY

On the third day we went to breakfast to eat cereal and toast. After that we went back to school for about 1 hours to say goodbye and pack our stuff. After that we went for gold pouring presentation and then bought souvenirs and went to gold panning and played on the playground. Then we ate lunch and went on the bus. On the bus I fell asleep for half of it, then I woke up and talked until we got there. Then we went home. I learnt about the goldrush time and it was fun. The activity I enjoyed the best was the mine tour.
