Boating, Orienteering, And Climbing Mt Prospect

On the 19^th to the 21^st of February Room 12 did boating, Orienteering, and climbing Mt Prospect.

On the 19^th of February Room 12 did boating, which meant a lot of packing.  Boating days included a long day to the beach but the walk was worth it when we reached Blue Gum Point.  There waiting for us were two boats and their drivers brad and Pete, a small swimming square and loads of steaming hot sun shimmering in the sun ready for 28 children to all over.  The day was hot and sunny as all of the children made their way to the water to have turns on the biscuits.  Later on a wind kicked in as child after child grabbed their lunch box.  Munch munch, yuck sand! 

Children gathered shouting, grabbing cones and rushing to the water, at the water the children made the cone squirt out water in a rush.  That started a water fight.  Near the end of the day Room 12, wet and cold was rounded up.  The piping hot sand glared at them as they made their way back to school.

On the 20^th February 2014 we did something called orienteering if you don’t know what orienteering is it’s when you go around ivon Wilson Park with a e stick on your finger [short for electrical stick] looking for control points it’s a bit of a challenge cause you need to get all of the control points in the right order or you’ll get a did not finish on the computer when you put your e stick in the finish control when you’ve done that you’ll check and clear with e stick in more controls and get ready for your next turn on the new course we had lots of fun doing orienteering we were tired at the end.

On the 21^st of February Room 12 got driven up to the starting point and walked up Mt Prospect it took a long time. But we did it and we bet the record. Our time is 47minutes to walk up. When we got to the top we were all tired and hungry. At the end of the day we went to a creek and make lots of dams. Then we went back to school and then we went home.
