YR5 ILLAWONGA CAMP

Camp was an experience that we will all remember.

It was a fun way to learn about our native animals and plants. We also learnt about the way we use the Murray River. On the walls of the Murray were cracks which were formed by floods. The floods were so big! There was also a crack that hadn't been recorded and it was higher than the rest. Our activities were boat riding and gymnastics, caving, archery and more. We went along the Murray and learnt about the ecosystem. In gymnastics we built our body strength and had lots of fun in the foam pit. We also had some fun in caving and fossil finding, we went through tunnels and found fossils. It’s was hot in the cave, but it was heaps of fun.

The safari trailer ride and archery were so exciting. In the trailer ride we looked at some lime stone art and old buildings, we learnt about our native animals and saw some bones. Archery was a rotation. We had one group doing archery and one group doing go-carts and the last group doing the haunted maze, we all rotated until we had done everything. We had a nice trip to a sheep farm and Jaymie and Isla sat on a long tube with holes and a dog came and tickled their bottoms! We looked at some sheep and had I race.  We learnt how to crack a whip and saw some wombats at the sheep farm. There were many kangaroos and an emu that was born with a broken beak.
