28 May 2012 Journal entry

What I did during y June Holidays

During my June holidays, I went to the Hong Wen School camp and it was very fun. At first, we had to do our registration, then we were organised into groups. My group was Team 1 and our leader was Wei Jie. Next we played games such as 'Whose thumb is the longest', racing and scissors, paper, stone. For the racing, we had to do crab walk and see who was the fastest. For the scissors, paper, stone, the loser has to go behind the winner. Next we had our snacks.. We ate some animals biscuits and drank some Milo. It was very yummy. After that, we went to pitch our tent. I did not know how to pitch it but I helped to hold the poles. Then we made a banner. Violet helped us draw, the others and I did the coloring. Our banner was Ironman.

Next we went for lunch. For lunch we had bee hoon. I could not finish it because it was quite a lot. After that we played the game 'Three Little Pif'. Uncle Daniel, our camp master gave us a packet of straws. We had to make a structure that is strong enough to hold two tennis balls. Our structure failed to hold onto the tennis balls and even tumbled down before the other team blew it. Then we did the origami. We made a samurai hat, a pop gun and a windmill. Next we had our tea break again.

Now I've come to the most interesting part. It was time to play the 'Wild, Wild Wet! We played different kinds of games such as ' Pass the water bomb', water gun and water bombing. After that we washed up and then ate dinner. The dinner was delicious. Next we went to practice our campfire songs such as 'Chikalaka Yell', 'There was a stream', 'Campfire's Burning' and 'Flea Fly'.

After that we did our performance preparation. Our act was about Ironman. Next we did 'Dare to Dream' at the basketball court. There, we needed to go to three stations. After that we had our night snack. I didn't eat any of them. Then before we went to bed, we brushed our teeth and changed and went back to the tents. We couldn't sleep because it was so hot in the tent. So we played Simon says before we slept. At that time, it was so late. So we couldn't wake up in the morning.

The next morning, I woke up, brushed my teeth and changed. Next we did our morning exercise. We did some warm-ups and ran a few laps. Everyone was hungry except my brother and I. After that, we did the SOC that stands for 'Standard Obstacle Course'. At first, we had to skip the rope twenty times, then we also needed to walk on newspapers and use our nose or our head to push the balls. Then we had our lunch. For lunch we had fried rice. It was so yummy that I took another serving! After that we watched a movie called 'Game Plan'. It had many meanings. The we did the 'Cooking Pa-pa'. We made a mini sandwich using ingredients that we bought. Then we did the performance practice. Next we had our dinner. I was hoping I could eat the fried rice and so I ate it.

After that we did the campfire. At the campfire, we sang songs, played games and did our performances. I was very fun! We did very well for the performance.The we gave prizes to the best team, then went home.

Teacher's question at end of journal: What is the one most important thing you learnt?
Meryl's reply: Um, all is the same.

Note: She wrote the whole entry in one paragraph! I took the liberty of doing the paragraphing for her. The rest are all her work.
