Apart from that, was it me or was I getting hotter? I looked up, and found a mass of burning flames hurling towards me. Luckily, I ducked just in time and peered over my shoulder, to see what the damage was. It was fatal, a giant crater had formed, and the spider had been shriveled to ash. I pretended to lunge for the serpent's chest I slid around him and cut off his huge lashing tail. The Dragon took his last breath of sparks and then collapsed. Extract from 'Sir Galahad's Great Adventure' by Henry Salmon Then he was upon me, tearing at me like a giant crab. J lunged, but I missed. He came at me again, and this time he hit. The dragon roared at me, hitting my shield with a blast of fiery breath. I smelt it melting, like the acrid smell of burnt toast. My hand was turning white hot at the heat of the shield, but I would not drop it. It was my only protection against the beast. But it was so hot, I dropped it. I swung again, and this time my blade struck true. The dragon reeled backwards, stumbling. I threw my sword at it, praying it would hit. It missed, soaring past its left ear. It came again, bellowing with agony. It roared, and I felt his breath singe my hair. I was praying, wishing, hoping it would stop. Then it came, would I die, or not. .. Extract from 'The Grail or her life' by Caitlin Reilly By dawn I arrived, I was looking over the great ranging river I was to cross to continue my journey, but my problem was there, there waiting like a spider ready to pounce on it's prey. It was my arch enemy Sir Lancelot, taking a rest der a sacred oak tree. He's always been Arthur's favourite; how I hate him for that Since our last meeting nothing has been the same. My hatred for him had been growing everyday. Mother always said I was the good one and I was the smart one but no!

Extract from 'Sir Bors' by Cameron Taylor. Still blinded by death, I forced my limp body up, forced my eyes open, forced my hand to my sword and hurled it at the knight It flew swiftly through the air and struck the black knight in the neck. He lunged forward. I didn't bother to smile as he fell to the ground. The other knights would slaughter me all same. I turned to look at the knights. But the knights, instead of dreadful, looming towe , were piles of ash. I turned to see a horse. I noticed that the horse had a rider. And in the rider's hand I saw a crystal. So that's what had burnt the knights. Then I heard the rustling of leaves. I turned around. Then all was darkness. Extract from "Morgan Le Fay's Revenge" by Florence Bischoff I whipped my horse and moved towards Camelot. Suddenly I sighted her in the courtyard and rode towards her. Soon after I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her onto my horse and rode off. Suddenly I heard the hoofs off Arthur's Men. They came charging at me and thrust their swords towards me they all missed me as I disappeared into the woods. Suddenly again they came chasing me through the woods and plains to my castle. They came closer and closer one of Arthur's men threw his sword towards me ..... . Extract from 'Morgan's First Trick' by Mariyah Hoosenally When Elaine entered the palace halls with a sparrow perched on her long painted nails I stood, holding a golden glass in my hand.

I, Morgan Le Fay was hoping that I could finally take revenge on my cowardly sister. " This is to make you feel better after the terrible accident of your husband" She slurped down the incantation. Suddenly a gust of wind intiuded the palace halls. I lifted up the mirror in my pocket. It had worked ... Extract from 'Dragon Battle' by Jade Wooldridge There was a clap of thunder, and suddenly Morgan Le Fay appeared. She'd had a deathly black dragon with her; The wicked wretch. It reeked with the essence of death. It was the biggest one ever seen by my own eyes. Many knew the dragon was very experienced at war, it was the dragon that many tried to slay and none succeeded. I tried to call l.ancelot, but he couldn't hear my call. I looked around my castle for anyone who might be able to help. No one was there. Extract From 'Morgan Le Fay's Revenge' by Susie Lowe "OW!!!" I screeched. Someone was under my bed. I heard a high pitched giggle. I knew it was one of those nasty children from the town. I got all of the power in to the middle of my hands.

I thought of the terrible things tht would happen to e. I ran, managed to catch up with him and stabbed him right in the heart. I heard him yelp with fear.

Extract from 'The War of a Lifetime' by Katie Keams "ATTACK" screamed Arthur .Then my nightmare started! Suddenly people started running at me from all angles! "Get back my lord Arthur, Queen Guinevere. Now!' shouted Gawain. It was too late, Gawain fell to the floor blood squelching from his chest. I knew I should have stayed beside him, I knew! I felt a sudden urge to kill! I writhed around like a mad woman striking out at the enemy around. I raced towards Morgan le Fay and slashed my sword at her, she fell to the ground in awful pain. Suddenly Morgan le Fay's sister smashed a brass bowl on to my head and I suddenly fell unconscious! Extract from 'To Fly a Dragon' by Arthur Hui I had set off on a quest to find a dragon and use it to fly me to another destination. I set off to a cave on a hidden island. I had used a boat to find the island, once I saw the island a sea serpent had appeared for battle. I pulled out my sword and cut off all of the fins on this onster and it sank to the sea floor. Once I had put the sword back I was on the island. I got off the boat, I turned to face a lion with fire over it's body ... Extract from 'The Chase of Revenge' by Sarah Chalk The chase was on. I turned to run towards the east. Would the same thing have happened to me as it did to Billow? The trumpet roared all over Camelot. I thought quickly and turned into a fire breathing dragon.

An extract from 'The dragon or the girl' by Finn Slevin I was on my first quest to save the wonderful Elaine from the evil Morgan le Fay. Although the forests were fierce I was willing to risk my life for her. I was riding through very rough terrain when I came across Morgan le Fay's castle. I entered the castle, it was huge. I didn't know how I was going to find Elaine? I entered the castle and in front of me was a gigantic dragon, it was bright red with glowing yellow eyes and amazingly powerful wings, his lips shriveled up by his own fire breathing mouth. How was I going to defeat it. ..... ? Extract from 'Morgan Le Fay's Revenge' by Johanna Henriksson The King ordered me to rescue the Queen from the overlooked tower of Dreare. I had no choice. It was nothing at first, but as I set off on the dusty, bumpy, devastated path along wild trees closer and closer to Dreare, a gust of wind flew past and I had the strangest feeling that I was being watched.

Extract from 'Excalibur' by Alisdair Irvine I leaned out of my window I heard someone screaming. A dragon was destroying the town. I thought; these are worthwhile people, I must save them. I rode off into the burning sky picking up screaming messages. They said it was Morgan Le Fay's dragon and that it was defeating the whole town. Shadows in the trees looked like my army; as if they had turned against me. Then horror struck my head, maybe my army had turned against me and they were leading me into a trap. I hadn't seen any of them from 6:00am and now it was 9:00pm. Even if that was the truth I wasn't falling for it, so I rode on faster. When I got to the town there in the shadows I saw the dragon, perched on top of the devastated town. Extract from 'Kay's Last Adventure' by Jacques Yeung 'CHARGE!' .. Just at that moment I suddenly felt confident, a little braver than I used to be. I slashed the beast from left to right but nothing seemed to harm it. Then I looked back, nearly all my men were killed. All that were left were tired or scorched by the beast's fire. I shouted 'Retreat' . All the men went back. At base camp we healed ourselves and went back to battle. But this time just when I raised my sword it began to light up! I thought for a moment this has never happened to me before "Um, excuse me sir, you look blinding white!" "Really," I replied, I was shocked at that moment. .. Extract from 'The End of Arthur' by Ellie Randolph All of a sudden I heard an ear piercing roar followed by a scream. I was getting close. My nerves rose so high that I could not fight them down. I edged forward. The air was scorching my face. 'Ha, dragons,' I laughed. 'They don't scare me'. But I knew it was a lie. I was quivering wi fear inside. I approached a ditch. I charged down. The heat was unbearable but I went on. The Dragon turned to face me as I came. :Qe'1mrled gigantic balls of scorching hot flames in my direction. I dodged. The Dragon mov- forward.

All of us were singing, everyone's spirits were1 ready for camp ... well I know mine was, but poor Miss Hitchcox had a headache like an exploding volcano! As we travelled out of the city, it was remarkable to see the difference in scenery. It was amazing to see how things could change in just an hour's drive , from tall buildings to bushes and wild life , such as monkeys! We f inally arrived ; the camp was impeccable to anything I've ever seen! Then ... we had to unload (the boring part) I had wished we each had robots to carry everything up and down the stairs , it was so tiring! We all just wanted to get on with the dayl Putting up the tents was fun (although I don't know why?) We all had lunch after that ; then onto the bamboo task . I was really excited to work as a team! Later on we had free time . I liked exploring and finding different places on the camp - also playing cricket! It got dark there quite early , so one member of the group that was cooking the meal had to prepare extra early so that we were not eating in the dark . That night we were eating pasta which was yummy, it was a bit cold . Then we went down to the main hall, we gathered in a circle and talked about how we felt about camp, lots of people , including me , were very excited to be her .

After we had eaten the coco pops the main chef for lunch (ME) and the assistant chef (Camille again!) had to make lunch , right after breakfast so we could carry it on the hike . We made cheese and lettuce sandwiches . We started the hike at 11 o'clock and finished it at 1 o'clock. It was great - we saw: monkeys, cows , goats, loads of insects, cats , dogs, birds and water buffaloes on the waylll We arrived in Pak A and we sat on some rocks by the sea and did some sketches. We also had lunch on the rocks . Then , after we had finished everything a massive boat came and took us back to our camp . When we reached our camp, we went down to the field and most of us played either cricket , basketball , rugby or some of us just read . I played cricket! After about an hour of that we got back together back at the camp. After we had finished our talk about what we were doing next we set off to our activities . We were doing archery, orienteering , and arts and craft; it was so much funlll (I really enjoyed the archery!) Afterwards went up to the camp to have dinner . We had meatballs and spaghetti . Shawn was the main chef and Camille was the assistant chef for the third time in a rowlll But dinner was still absolutely amazing!!! After dinner that night everyone collected wood and made a huge campfire . It was about 8 .30 at night when we sat down next 0 to the campfire ; we sang songs the whole timelll We also ate marshmallows, chocolates, and candy the whole time! When we had finished the campfire we went and got ready for bed. Ross , Oliver, and I fell asleep straight away because we were really tired! What a great day! By Kabir Laroia Dear Diary , Today is the day we start camp! I'm really excited because I know it is going to be great! This morning I packed my bags and got ready to leave . At school we said goodbye to our parents and started to load the buses . On the journey I was so excited , especially as we started to get close! The journey was great , especially because every one was singing and playing games . All the way there I was thinking about what it would be like and I was really surprised when we finally got there (but in a good way!) When I saw it I thought that it was a really nice for a camp! We unloaded our bags and took them to the hall (it was really tiring and most people were relieved to put the bags down .) We got into the hall and sat down . We were told some rules and where things were e .g.: the showers are down the corridor in the hall. Eventually, we got up to the camp site where we were shown how to put up our tents . After everything was set up , we went to have lunch . Finally, we got to the building . It was great fun; I really enjoyed doing it . Suzie and Ammar made the flag pole , and Tom helped Pippa and I make both the table and the drying rack . Then we had free time , (before free time we had tent inspection.) and it was great to be with my friends, I felt really independent and happy j o just hang around qnd have funl Meanwhile , Pippa and Ammar were cooking our first dinner . Our f irst meal was delicious however, I felt quite full afterwards . After dinner we washed our plates and cutlery . We all went to the showers and got ready for bed . Then we got into our tents f r talking time (which wasn't very quiet!) I'm so excited about tomorrow, I can ardly sleep! I wonder what it will be like? .,. By Meg MacMahon T Dear Diary, In the morning , I finished packing and went off to have breakfast . We left for school, feeling very excited! When we arrived, I said good bye to my mum and hurried off to meet my friends . Finally , we left for camp! On the bus we were all talking, singing songs and not long after, we arrived at camp. We unloaded the bus ; I didn't have to take a bag ... YESI We were shown the area where we would be camping . Then, we watched a demonstration of how to put the tents up , although , we thought that the tents were very small! Next , we had lunch , which was just as well as I'd started to feel like I would starve to death! After lunch we started the Bamboo task , which was to make a table, drying rack and a flag pole , only using bamboo and string. I started on the table, which I thought would never work never mind hold the weight of Nurse Justin , but it did! (He said that it was very uncomfortable, but it was not to be slept on!) We started to cook our first meal ; I had butterflies in my stomach . Amy cooked a great meal, but Oliver, Kabir and I didn't show itl Next we got ready for bed, we had time to talk and then it was lights out at 7 :30. (But lights didn't really go out until about 12 :00!) I can't wait for tomorrow - it's going to be great fun going on a hike - I wonder what we'll see? By Ross Mason Dear Diary , I can't ... I really can't believe it! I've been waiting and waiting until my last year's camp ... and now ... we're all here! But - the boys . I wonder how we will get on for the rest of the...elimp . They're already freaking me out! AnY,MIY, af ter a long, long journey (bus ride) , we arrived and set up our tents. We t~en made a table , a drying rack and a flag pole out of bamboo . The flag pole was a disaster! Why couldn't t he boys in ur group think logically (use a bit of common sense) to build our flag pole? I felt ~ ally annoyed (the first time I'd felt so exasperated) . In about an hour , Diana hac3' built the drying rack, Kelly and I had built the table - three people could sit on itl I felt really proud of myself when Mr . Zimmerman came over and said, "I like the idea and how you t hree gir ls have worked t ogether and got the job done!" However , during that t ime , t he boys didn't do anything! Finally , we got it all finished - although I don't think t he f lagpole is stable! I. !"as so f'elieved when we had some free time and started to cook my first meal. :r: was thJ assist nt chief for Diana . We started cooking chicken teriyaki. I don't think it was success because the sauce made the chicken look ready and burnt! As a result. Chrl, l"eGlly hated the chicken! Luckily , he felt alrightl I can't sleep right now because I am really looking forward to tomorrow (basically everything)! Since I hike sometimes up to The Peak, I have a feeling that I won't be tired . Also, I'm looking forward to the archery and the talent show. Today ... I've had a very good day, but I really do not like the boys! Today we said goo off our bags in the car . park . After going to our classroom to register , we went back downstairs and packed our bags into one of the three buses . Then we t ook another bus On the bus , I thought about what it would be like at camp, so I missed most we got to the National Park t hat the camp was in , I was amazed! It ful and such open space! We then had t o unpack the bus . I was given f e lt I e the heaviest bag of all (I found out later it was Guy's bag!) We were how to set up the tents , which we then had to do - not an easy tosk I can tell After we'd had lunch , we had to make a table , a flag pole and a drying rack bamboo . The girls in our group did the table (which went over time) whilst Jack n I did the flag pole and the drying rack. I then cooked Spaghetti Carbonara, my group thought th~t it was super . We had to clean the pots and the saucepan, then went to the hall to soy what we were looking forward to tomorrow. I :;aid archery. We then went to bed . I can't wait f~r the archery tomorrow! By Thomas PepRCr Dear Diary, I was so excited packing this morning that I got dizzy from jumping on my bed! As soon as I got to school , I threw my bag down and skipped up the stairs . Once the buses were loaded we set off . The bus trip; well it wasn't very entertaining and after the first few minutes , I got a headache because Joe was screaming at the top of his voice a campfire song from Spongebob Squarepants! So immature! I was really fed up with his singing , so I covered my ears for the rest of the bus trip . When we got off . the forever bus journey. I was so relieved and my headache was gone . I thought that camp would be wood and jungle , but I was really disappointed when I saw concrete buildings . However, as soon as I walked up the stairs to the actual campsite , I saw a full area of grass ; perfect!! I settled down and Tom and I put up the tent working well as a team . When we had finished , we put up the flagpole three times because it wasn't that stable . then Tom and I did the drying rack . Once we did that as well. we went over to see the girls (who hadn't even finished half of the table yeti) Edwina , Matilda and Abigail shouted back at us for doing only a little bit of work, when we had done two things and they hadn't even done one! I ignored the girls and went into our tent with Tom to clean up our mess . When we had done the chores , it was time for my first meal. Well actually, I was the assistant chef and Tom was the head chef . He cooked spaghetti with bacon (Carbonara) . It was really fun cooking, as I'd never cooked before . It was so yummy! When it 'was time for bed, I snuggled up in my sleeping bag and kept on shining t he torch on everyone outside. I eventually got to sleep at 4am! I am really excited about ing archery tomorr, ! go up wit a a was feeling nervous and excited about camp! By J ack Varndell I got to school and we loaded the bus, it was slightly hard work, but we all worked together and got it done in the end! We then t oo a long drive to Soi Kung, collecting our permit on the way . As we arrived, we unloaded the bus, set up our tents and ate lunch. I fel t really excited to be here and was looking forward to getting on with all our activit ies . After lunch our group made a t le, drying rack and flag pole . I really enjoyed th is activity and we produced some re4lll-..t~• Item, scoring h,-~ ._ ..... __ our camp points! Later in the day, I made chicken teriyaki . All I can say is - it was not good! The sauce was very bad and even made Chris feel sick! Oh well - I tried my best and hopefully I can help others with their cooking later in the camp. By Diana Wallace Primary 6, Class 20 Mrs J. Forder Alex Durrant Charlotte Feeney Amy Griffin Rebecca Leung Alastair Hirsch, Joe Mellor, Camille Montagne, Shawn Wallace, Abigail Ng, Caileigh Faure, Mrs Jenny Forcier Ruairidh Grassick, Kate Crisp, Jamie Wilkinson, Ammar Karmali, Kyle Sun, Emily Zimmermann George Chumas, Matthew Beshke, Edwina Preston, Jocelyn Ng, Mikkel Stenhaug, Guy Aglionby, Matilda Chaumet The Campfire by Jocelyn Ng On Tuesday night , after dinner. we all went down to the fireplace with our torches and water bottles . I was really excited; i was going to be so much fun . When we all arrived a man lit the wood with a match; a giant, enormous, red and orange flame appeared ':rig,ht in front of my eyes. After the man had inished , we started singing songs. Then moment later . everyone was .singing different songs all at the same time - it sounded terrible. :rbe f · pa~ed an crackled with laughter as we started playing a game called Buster Rhyme . After we finished the game, Mrs. Forder gave out two chocolates each . Finally. the day ended when we went up to the hall to do our talent show. t he Talent Show by George Chumas The Hike by Emily Zimmermann On Tuesday, 13th March, we went on a really amazing hike. Our guide's name was Daniel; he said we did the h" in half the time most people do it! I thought it was real y fun- hiking witb y riends . We started off by meeting Daniel outside the spacious hall. I though Daniel was really nice; he greeted us with a warm welcome and he had a smile on his face the whole time. After we were all there we set off; walking down the path that leads up to camp. We went all the way down the path and out, onto the road, in between the lake and a meadow. There· were water buffalo droppings everywhere- it was as if it was waiting for someone to step ·n it! We kept on going down the stick straight road , as long as a dinosaur. After a while we saw a little pagoda, o ff to our left, sat in the middle of the blue, green water of the lake; connecting to the road with a patch of uncut grass. We carried on, up the steep road, the one the bus came down on when we arrived . The group hiked up winding roads ; one of which we saw three water buffalo coming down the hill! Higher up we saw some more- there was even a calf! They wer oll I C:J'.£~ ~ :'.'IO:.ar::.,rt:-. lucky to see them because the thing about them is . .. they're wild! We all hiked up the hill chatting, looking at the amazing trees , smelling the pine and listening to the birds. The bark on the trees was as delicate as paper. After about an hour he group went off. road for a while. The we got to the beach; we The talent show was the best part of survival camp ate our lunch and sketched the landscape . After , we got a boat because it was a chance to make everyone laugh . I worked back to camp which was really load but we still had fun! When the with Joe and Chris (my tent mates) and we presented an boat arrived back at camp, we act about two rich guys who go to a restaurant with a Campfire Night by Kyle Sun were absolutely exhausted! very bad waiter. We had some time to rehearse then Tuesday night dawned . We lit the campfire and although it danced in the wind it was nothing compared to the talent show. At the end of our performance most people had split sides from laughing . Once finished we sat and watched the other acts . Above all it was great fun to see what people had arranged and how much thought they had put in . We then sat and had some hot chocolate to calm us down and finally returned to our tents . We all laughed and talked about whose act was best- it may not be enough to win an Oscar but it was still fun to perform a small , funny act about a bad restaurant! On Tuesday night, we had a camp fi re . It smelt quite nice and I could see the smoke, rising into the air . We sang some songs while eating chocolate bars . The chocolates were mini and they fe lt a little harder than the usual big bars . Afterwards, we had to perform our talent shows which we prepared on the day before. One by one, each group did their shows . We were the third from last . I did the "idiot idol", which was a copy of another show called "The American Idol". After all the shows had ended, we had cups of frothy hot chocolate, (which tasted like weak coffee) with marshmallows . The marshmallows were soft, sweet and white . It was as soft as a snowflake . However, the hot chocolate was a dragon, puffing fire and steam everywhere. Nature at Camp ... by Edwina Preston There were lots of interesting animals at camp: lizards, birds, crickets, cats, cows and even monkeys and water buffaloes . There were not just animals but lots of different types of plants too. On the first night when everyone was asleep in their tents (I was still awake), I had just come out of my tent to go to the bathroom when something stopped me, it was a black cat! It was sitting on the drinks table tipping over bottles and actually drinking lemon cordial out of a cup which was left on a table. It has bright blue, green and brown eyes and as soon as it saw me it disappeared into the darkness .. On the last day of camp we saw a monkey; it was the same size as my little sister! It bared its teeth at us and crept back into the bushes silently. I, I really enjoyed seeing animals and plants at camp; I especially enjoyed seeing the monkey and the large lizard I found under a rock . Cooking by Shawn Wallace Probably the most challenging thing at survival camp was cooking. Our group did very well with this difficult factor. with foods that kept us from starving . I was the Sous Chef for the hot breakfast (scrambled eggs and bacon) which was delicious . Before that though , I was the chef for spaghetti and meatballs . I thought that I was going to mess it up but Mrs . Pratt said it looked really good . She was right! Everyone in my group liked it (yes, even the boys). When I was cooking the spaghetti and meatballs, I was really excited to start . Camille was my Sous Chef (as she really wanted to cook pasta) . I told her to get the certain types of pans , while I got the ingredients . We heated up the water for the pasta while we made the meatballs . By that time we were running late, therefore, Mrs. Pratt had to give us an extra burner! The next morning, I was cooking with Ross . He started by cooking the bacon : he asked me to crack and scramble the eggs . It turned out that I ended up making most of the meal! Typical! Being Sous Chef With Ronan by Guy Aglionby I started off by getting the sausages that sizzled, and the crunchy carrots. Ronan went to get, slowly but surely, the potatoes . We were to have a meal that would soon run into our mouths: Bangers and Mash . Although the scrumptious sausages cooked at lightening speed, we had decided to cook them first. The chef cautiously removed the 'Brats' from the packet, and dropped them, one by one, into the pan. They crackled so delightfully, as I peeled potatoes and carrots . Out of the corner of my eye I could see , and feel the rippling heat rising off the perfect pan . Ronan, as carefully as a baby-handler , picked the sausages out of the pan, and put them on to the chopping board . The smell was so overwhelming; so much that Jemima's mum (Ms. Charlotte) came and advised him to make all the sides brown . I think she secretly wanted one! When the sausages were cooked, I wanted to sit down; to look and stare; just to take in - literally - the Brats. I was a starving lion being teased by a juicy steak . Spoiling my fun, Ronan, the lion tamer , covered them with tin foil. Together, we chopped up the potatoes (all peeled by me) and put them in a pot of boiling water, which was steadily steaming. When cooked, we had collected a collection of complaints; too long; too warm; too cold . Ronan added : milliliters of milk, and basically bowlfuls of butter . Armed with a fantastic fork, I witnessed the mashing-up of the once oval-shaped potatoes. Back at the tent, grinning gourmet food was served which did the 100 meters down our throats . The Brats were delicious, we are the 'cannibals'! The Campfire by Ammar Karmali On Tuesday night, after dinner, we all went down to the campfire, which was near the basketball courts. I was really excited; it was going to be a lot of fun . When the man had started the fire we began singing. The fire roared as we sang to the beat of our campfire song , "Life is fun," and many more . A little later , people were singing different songs and it sounded like a cow dying. Eventually, Mrs. Forder came round with candy - I had a crunch and a timeout - they tasted delicious . After, we played a rhyming game; finally , we let the fire burn out and eventually walked up to our tents as quiet as mice . Archery by Kate Crisp I found archery one of the hardest and most interesting activities to do among all of them . It made you feel proud to have the responsibility and scared at the same time, in case we messed up. The man explained how we put the arrow on the back of the string and rested it on the wood. All the children were starting at him as if he was doing something inhuman (though we struggled a bit to understand him, as his accent was quite strong). He showed us how to pull the arrow out of the board-it seemed so hard. There were so many things to think about all 'at t"he same time: aiming the arrow; getting the arrow in the right place; putting your fingers in the right position; q d-this is the bit I found the hard~st-pulling the sting back for enough . We were put in to groups , which was typical because I was already pretty scar d . I When it was my go , I had to strap a protection to my arm so the string wouldn't burn it. I looked up/ ther was the board standing in front of me . I picked up the bow and carefully lifted the arrow, so I wouldn't hurt anyone . I felt famous but not in a good way because my friends (in my group) were all staring at me . I put everything in the correct way, then started to pull the sting back-it was as if the sting was trying to move away. I pulled it to the far edge of my mouth and let gol I closed my eyes and heard the arrow bang against something . I opened my eyes and it had hit the board ; not exactly a bulls eye but it was a hit . I was overjoyed . I look my other four shots-some better: others worse . I collected my arrows and had to move on to the next activity . At the end of the day I had done pretty well at everything but I knew archery was my best activity . The Hike by Charlotte Feeney The hike was my favqurite part of camp; it was a little tiring but great fun . I walked and talked the whole way and never stopped! The hikers- P6-saw three , big black water buffaloes and we all took pictures Three cows were stood on a patch of fresh grass and one was a tiny cute calf. The hike was about two hours and thirty minutes (including the boat trip back) . When the hike was finished w scst on some rocks on the beach and completed a sketch of w t we saw. The rocks were as sharp as skewers! Finally, the boat arrived but just before we got on a little dog , came walking behind and lay down. It didn't look very happy so we quickly jumped on the boat and left . The boat trip make me feel sick as soon as I got off I was fine. The boat came to a stop and we all got off, then we ran back to camp and began our next adventure! Cooking My Meal by Jamie Wilkinson I made pasta with Prego Sauce for lunch on Wednesday. Firstly, I had The Campfire by Joe Mellor On Tuesday night, we had a giant campfire involving : lots of campfire songs; a fire as bright as the sun and • rhyming game. As we told stories and sang songs , the r danced in the moonlight . One of the songs we sang was called 't: , c ·p:fir~ song' - if you ,.ask me, I thought it was very good: everyone else thoug_ht, it was terrible. · After the campfire , we went to the hall and performed a talent show. I don't know if the teachers were that impressed with the standard of the shows: I thought they w,re good (a~art from one or two groups who didn't p~orm). e gr ps were quite funny; some were clever and some were just weird! After the talent show. we went back t out tents and the entire group slept through the night due to the fact that we were so tired from the jam packed day . to boil the water on the stove; it took about 15 minutes to do that. You could see bubbles in the water and you could fe-el t heat from the stove. Secondly, I had to put a packet of Pasta in the pot - you could hear it sizzling like a sausage . · After that, I had to pour the bottle of Prego 'Sauce in the pot and stir it up. The Pasta was spread with sunshine when the Prego was put on . When the Pasta was finished, I put it into six plastic bowls and we had it by the BBQ a lunch time . Archery by Camille Montagne After orienteering, a few people went to archery. It was really fun; hard but fun. I scored red (close to the middle) on my second go . I had already done archery in Club Med, so I knew how to use a bow and arrow. The surrounding area was very green and had lots of trees and plants . We has to try and score on the on board which was placed approximately 10 meters away from us . The points were shown by round colours on the board-your aim was to get the bulls eye. The arrows were as quick as a cheetah (when you shot it). It could be very dangerous if you were in front of a person while they wei;-e shooting; you could get badly hurt. I liked archery the best because it reminded me of Club Med and my holidays. Spin Tag by Ruairidh Grassick Spin tag is very complicated and the rules are as follows: 1. Spin (fast) and try to tag someone; 2 . Don't fall down ... okay it isn't that complicated but it was still the highlight of my camp. The only few children playing were: Chris, Matt, Joe, George and me. I think the second rule is the hardest one because sometimes you are so dizzy you cannot help but fall . Spin tag is really good fun because I found it blocked out bad smells from the food which the other children were preparing . It was also a chance for me to play with friends outside and we all laughed when someone fell over . Archery by Caileigh Faure Archery by Mikkel Stenhaug Straight after orienteering, I rushed down to the archery field and found the other group waiting or the last person to finish. We were asked to sign up on a sheet of paper and watched Mrs. order, Mr . Zimmerman and Nurse Justin in a competition . Even tually there was a winner and that winner was ... Mrs. Forder. Finally it was our turn. We scavenged through a box for an arm guard like an animal chasing its prey . We watched the instructor tell us the rules and how we should shoot . Eventually I got my turn and I hit ... one red, blue , white and two blacks . We were lucky to get some extra time and I watched as Nurse Justin shot a bull's-eye! I managed to get a picture of the group and on my way back I collected the arrows and picked up a cap from one of them as a souvenir. Orienteering by Amy Griffin We did orienteering on the second aftE!rnoon - Tuesday - we went downstairs and met the instructor . Here are the instructions we had to follow: split into pairs (I was with Shawn); take a map and a pencil with a sheet; and finally - listen . We had to find codes and write on a sheet of paper . We set off, I was holding the pencil and paper and I was as fast as a bumble bee. We found our first code in the office . It was a white rectangular shaped plastic bit with a square on it . I found them; and Shawn used the map . The clues were needles in a haystack . Shawn and I came second out of everyone. It was an excellent brain exercise and indescribable fun - I loved it - I hope I can do it again some time soon. After orienteering, we walked down to archery (I didn't have a positive feeling about it) . When we arrived at the base we were told to write our names on a piece of paper to show we had completed the activity . After we had done that, the instructor started to show us how to begin-I was really nervous. He had soon finished showing us the basic method of archery: I was still a little unsure bit somehow still ran to be first in the line . When he blew the whistle we were told to pick up our first shot. I was really nervous about letting go of the string but I did it! I watched it fly like the wind: it hit the yellow ... but no ... it bounced off! So disappointing! After five shots the yellow was still my best go. When it was time to leave I really didn't want to go; it was the best activity ever! I hope , and am sure , I will be able to do it again . Cooking by Abigail Ng On Tuesday evening, Edwina and I were in charge of cooking . Due the Sean being ill, we were in charge (Edwina was the chef and I was the sous chef). We made pasta with bacon, cheese and vegetables . It took us ages to get the water boiling; to put the pasta in and wait for it to soften. I t tasted of ... nothing! No taste : no flavour! We cut t he bacon1 and fried it - it smelt wonderful so, Edwina and I tasted it (the bacon was very hot) . It tasted fantastic! We heard it sizzling on the pan and when we had another look it, it was cooked! We chopped the vegetables into little pieces and steamed them. When they were cooked , we drained the pasta and combined all the foods together . It was ready! Jack complained that we used his bacon: the others didn't mind . We tried it and it tasted delicious. After all that ..__ ....... · ,., , we had a lot of pasta left , so Edwina and I tried to eat a~-.w::.n s we could . We finished all the leftover bacon and half of the---mMa...W couldn't finish the rest so we had to throw it in the bin . Finally, washed up after we finished . This took a long tim pecially the big bowl containing little bits of pa a , vegetables and cheese .
