Year 5 camp

The year 5’s have been on a phenomenal  camp .
Activities including Mountain boarding,
archery, kayaking , UHF radios and spotlight made
camp an incredible adventure for the year 5’s

Paddling our tandem kayaks forwards, backwards
and around in circle attracted a lot of fun as Sami
and I pushed my dad in the water . After a
while we did mountain boarding, we
practised heel turns, toe turns and finally did a slalom.

Crawling through the long think grass we tried
to make our way toward the bell, we
were playing a difficult game of spotlight because
the parents and teachers had the torches.

Nova Scotia and New Brunswick

My favourite thing in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick was tidal bore rafting, which is when the 15 meter tide changes it creates enormous waves ! Another awesome activity was mud sliding were we basically had a downhill slope in the mud that we would slide down when we were done we had jump in the water to get the sloppy mud off . In the same area we went horse riding, My horse was called Red and he was very naughty he liked eating while we were riding and did a big poo while we were on the track . We also went canoeing which was really fun because we kept banging each other into the track .

Prince Edward Island

We crossed a really long bridge to Prince Edward Island it was 13 kilometres long and when we got there we stayed in the Linkletter campground. Which is my distant relatives land from about 8 generations ago we went Anne of green gables and had heaps of fun there before we went to Charlottetown before heading off the island in a ferry .

Canada - Montreal

I arrived in Canada on a Tuesday . My holiday began as we stepped out from the plane and entered Montreal, the second largest French speaking city in the whole world ! The elaborate churches, driving on the the right side of the road and different languages were just a few of the many differences.  Soon we were dropping our bags in the hotel and went of to try some local delicacies. The first was a Swiss fondue a cheese sauce that you dip bread, grapes and apples into. Next was the true Canadian poutine, a dish with chips, cheese curds and gravy! While we only stayed in Montreal for two nights we had so much fun climbing Mont Royal, walking in the park, exploring local markets and being fascinated by the towns history.
