The last night of camp and the last morning.

Thursday was a busy day and a little tricky with the funny weather not being able to decide if it would rain or stay warm and sunny - there was a lot of putting on and taking off of jackets. Lots of fun was had by all including Mrs Delaney who came to spend the day with us.

We started the morning with a beach walk, paddle and dolphin spotting.





After morning tea it was time for round one of todays activities. My group started with the team building games. They worked well together in many ways, as the pictures show: they had to work hard as a team and communicate clearly with each other.




After a wonderful lunch our group went to experience the Glidder Possum - what a buzz. One person is harnessed to a rope on a pulley the rest of the group pull them up 'tug of war' style and leave them swinging in the tree tops. The kids really enjoyed the thrill of this mostly asking to go super super fast with lots of swing.






A quiet afternoon of chilling out, sports and free time mainly indoors due to the rain which unfortunately prevented a trip to the shops for the kids to spend their money. BUT they didn't miss out at all - lollies were shared around at the awards night so everyone was sugared up just before bedtime!!!!


THE BIG BOWLS OF LOLLIES.


Jordan's 'Hollow legs award. Reece and his cleanest person award.

Jessica C's award for her determination in abseiling, flying fox and the glidder.


Montell won a tortoise award but also needs recognition for his ability to eat apples.

Jessie won the sleeping beauty award for his
ability to fall asleep half way through dinner!!
Other awards included: Britlee's noisiest person; Nicholas was the buddy of the week; Rebecca gained the cooperation award, Shana the award for I can't do that since she couldn't eat cereal without sugar and Ben the drip of the week award for asking if someone was coming to make his bed - sorry no room service!!


Well Friday has arrived and everyone has packed their bags, cleaned their rooms (some with lots of prompting and directing from the teachers!!!) and with a tinge bitter sweet happyness and sadness feeling ready to go home.
