Hi!
Our class has done a lot of amazing things this year. In this post I will try to remember what we have done as a class throughout the year!

Camp Hornby
Well, the first really fun thing we did was go to a camp on Hornby Island. It wasn’t only our class that went though, every grade six class got to go. We did a lot of really fun things like kayaking, high ropes, games in the forest and the climbing tower. My favorite thing that we did at Hornby was probably the kayaking because I think it is really fun. My friend Hayden fell out of his kayak when his group did it, and he had to swim back to the shore (and that day the water was really cold!)!

I was in a tent group with Hayden, Kris and Julian, and on the first night Kris and Hayden both fell asleep in the first 10 minutes or so! Me and Julian didn’t fall asleep that fast. Oh no. I’m guessing that it was somewhere between another 2-3 hours before me and Julian fell asleep. When we weren’t asleep, me and Julian talked about a video game. I can’t remember what it was though.

On the second night, I had a bit too much to eat and I wasn’t feeling very well (I think I had too much salad at dinner). After dinner, I really had to go to the bathroom (which smelled horrible). I had to wait a while before I got to use it, and when I did get to use it someone kicked the door, so when I tried to open it, The hinges were stuck somehow so the door wouldn’t swing open. I told the other people waiting to go and get Mr. Green to open it. When I got out, it was time for the campfire, so I went to where it was and I sat beside my friends. We had hot chocolate and some chips for a snack. I threw one of my doritos into the fire pit, and then it caught on fire. It didn’t look like it burned when it was done, but instead it looked like it had melted (it was very strange). After we had finished our snack, we sang some campfire songs and then it was time to go to our tents. I had to go to the bathroom again, so when I got back to the tent, Kris, Julian and Hayden were fooling around with the giant flashlight I brought. They were turning it on and off and whenever it would go off, Julian would change how he was standing. It made me very dizzy. Once they were done, I didn’t feel good at all, so I stepped outside and I threw up in one of the bushes!

We also did a lot of other really fun things this year, like:

• Spring Musical
• Winter Musical
• Christmas Gift Exchange
• Our Class Election
• Blogging
• Howlin’ Halloween Happening

This fall all of the grade 6 classes in my school got to go to Hornby Island for 3 days. It was a time for all of us to have fun and just be away from the work for a while. While we were there, we got to do a whole bunch of really fun activities like kayaking, rock tower climbing, high ropes and some other really fun activities. Some days the group that you were in would go down to Lunar Beach, and the rocks that were there looked really cool because they had craters in it, which is probably how the beach got it’s name. We also got to eat really yummy food while we were there like spaghetti, and for breakfast we could either have cereal or what they had prepared for us. My favorite breakfast that we had was the French toast.

The only bad thing at the camp was the outhouses. They smelled terribly disgusting. The stench would start to burn your eyes after a while. I also got stuck in the outhouse because before I was about to go in it someone kicked the door, and once I was in it the same person kicked it again, and it got stuck because of that. I was stuck in it for about 10 minutes, and I thought I was gonna hurl because it smelled so horrible. I told the people waiting outside the door that it wouldn’t open, and some of them ran to get the principle so he could open the door. I was really glad to be out of the outhouse and smell the fresh air. It felt great after being stuck in there for a while. After I got out, it was nearly time to start the camp fire and sing along with everyone. Once that was done, we had some hot chocolate and maybe a little snack, and then it was time for us to go to bed.

I decided to redo this post because the original of it wasn’t that great and it was very short, so I decided to make a new version of it. I have a link to the old post, so you can see how much I have grown in my blogging since I started.
