Grade 5-6 Camp Group 1

Last Wednesday 5-6PW, 6R and the 5’s from 4-5F travelled to Camp Banksia for their camp. We began at Glengarry Maze, splitting into 3 groups and enjoying a forest walk, thinking challenges and the maze. We then travelled via the Frankford Highway to Camp Banksia. In the afternoon we became acclimatised to the camp and visited the beach.

On the second day it rained all day and despite this, the students had a great day cooking pancakes, learning about the food web of Tasmanian animals and playing team building games. They also had time to practise their acts for the talent show and play board games. The talent show at night was a definite highlight of the day.

On the final day we played Mr Jones’ famous game 'Survivor' and then travelled to the Ashgrove Cheese Factory to learn about micro-organisms.

Overall the students were absolutely amazing, demonstrating the three school values throughout the three days and we had a fantastic time.
