Grade 5T – The Fabulous Fives @ Menzies Creek P.S.

We are back after a fabulous five days at Camp Coolamatong! Everyone paticipated so well in all the activities, from rock climbing, abseiling, archery, mountain bike riding to bush cooking and canoeing. It was a great experience and the Coolamatong staff made us feel very welcome. The food was great and the sporting and game facilities were great too. The boat trip to the 90 Mile Beach was a real highlight for everyone. We hope you enjoy reading our comments about camp and looking at the photos. If you would like to read further details about our camp experiences, please read the camp recounts that will be on display in the corridor.

Harry: I thought that camp Coolamatong was awesome! The activities at Coolamatong were great and i loved the bikeride. The staff were really nice to us and we were nice to them too. When i got to Coolamatong I thought this was going to be a really bad camp but when i went and met the staff and looked around the place it wasn’t that bad. The food at Coolamatong was really nice and i liked the ice-cream. I had the best time at Coolamatong i want to go back there next year!! =D

Kea: Camp Coolamatong was great! My favourite activity was the abseiling wall. It was scary but really fun! I also liked the bushcraft. The food was delicous and I learnt a lot too. The bike ride was fun too. I was afraid that a snake would bite me, but that didn’t happen. My favourite bit on the bike ride was going over the jumps. On the boat ride I took some really good photos of the water. We went to a place near the 90 Mile Beach to have lunch. At the place we played with a soccer ball. That was fun. After lunch, we walked through this really weird looking forest like area to get to the 90 Mile Beach. When we got on the sand we played an awesome game called fox holes. Unfortunately, my awesome heart sunglasses broke. I felt sad!!! Later on that day we had redfaces. When I was doing it, I injured my hand badly and had to go to hospital. That was not fun! The hurting the arm part was not fun but I really enjoyed the rest of the camp!

WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME AT COOLAMATONG!

Next week we will be off to camp! Yippee! Camp Coolamatong is a lot of fun and everyone should have a fabulous time. It will be great to try some new adventures & challenges together. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE RETURNED YOUR CAMP & MEDICAL PERMISSION FORMS. It will be important to also think about hay fever and asthma medications too.

Not long to go! Hope all the fabulous RED FACES acts are ready!

Welcome back for the final term! It is great to see the enthusiasm and excitement surrounding our  ‘My Restaurant Rules’ unit. The classroom was a buzz of noise and drum rolls today, as the groups were announced and the countries chosen! Your responses and attitude were very positive. Grade 5 have certainly taken up the challenges so far. What a great start!
