Primary 6

Notes on P6 Camp

Monday 16th May

Today I went to school full of excitement. We put our luggage into the back of the bus and then we were off to Lendrick Muir. When we got there, we were put into activity groups. We all stood there in the rain and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Elizabeth. Our first activity was raft building. We had to tie logs together with rope to make a structure and then put that on top of barrels. It was very fun, but I fell in twice and got numb from the waist down. Later when it was raining, we built our own rafts. In the end we had to get in the freezing water to push the raft in. We all screamed! After dinner, we did a murder mystery. It turned out that the maid had murdered Lord Mowbray. It was really funny because Mr Fowles was pretending to be Lady Mowbray! Then we went to our dorms, but we didn't go to sleep for ages with all our chatting and laughter.

Our first activity was the king swing! The king swing was fun but scary. We were attached to a big metal bar with a harness. Then the people who were not on the king swing would pull a rope to raise us up. Then, when we got to the height we wanted to be, we pulled a cord and swung high. Next, we did bungee trampoline jumping. We were attached to two long ropes that were attached to the harness and we would jump up and down and we would go really high. I did a backflip which was really fun! My next activity was mini survival where we had to make a small den for a stick man so he could stay warm. Another activity was tree climbing where we wore a harness and climbed up the tree until we couldn't go up any higher. If we made it to the top, we had to squeak a yellow dinosaur. I made it to the top! Our final activity was mini survival. We had to make a shelter for pinecone people to see if they got wet. After free time, we had dinner and then we played some ball games and had a campfire. At the campfire, we had marshmallows and sang some silly songs. Wednesday 18th May

Today was the last day and we did group activities. After breakfast, we had some team challenges and did a rocket launch. Before we left, we watched a little video about our time at camp. I really enjoyed my camp, and I would gladly go again. By Jessica and Emilia
