In a beautiful pea-green boat:

Wrapped up in five-pound note.

Camp Tirrigai (day one)

I woke up in the morning I was getting crazy about camp I was really happy I thanked my parents for letting me go to camp. I was getting ready for school then l went to school. I told my dad that l forgot my hat at home so he went back to get my hat. I saw Sara and Nikkie.We went to the bus and mark the roll. All of my friends were going to camp. When we were in the bus l g0t car sick lala and Emeka told me not to look out of the window they said l have to just look in front of me. I was sitting almost near the driver. When we were at camp we met Sue and Kent.

Kent took us in the hall and we all had a Birrigai drink bottle. A few minutes past then we had morning tea. Morning tea was a Birrigai biscuit they are like anzac biscuits. We did many activities. But my second best activity was making fire with Sue. I was not used to calling adults by there names. In my team of making fire were lily, Opra, Alex and me. We had to collect twigs. When we were at the place to make fire my group and I discussed that to start without newspaper we did it without newspaper but it did not work.


So we had to do it with newspaper it worked. When we had to cook dumper our fire was gone we were only left with white chalks. When we finished our dumper we went on the bush walk when we were doing the bush walk we learnt many things about Aboriginals. We went in the squeeze. A squeeze is when you have to squeeze in two rocks it was fantastic. Sue told us that there was a bush fire at Birrigai that killed many of living things in the bush. When we were finished we had free time. It was time for table 2 to set the table for dinner.We had roast beef,vegetables and potatos.Nikkie was vegetarian so she did not have roast beef she had potatos and vegetables.When we were finished we had to tyde up the dinning area again.We had to go and have a shower because we had to watch a movie.I was third last in the shower.


When we were finished we went in the theater room.Sandy was left alone showering.The teacher went to inspect that if anyone was left alone then she saw that Sandy was alone and come with her to the theater.We watched a movie called camp rock.When the movie was finished we all went to sleep.Our room was spilt in half.When we were amost asleep the girls on the other side nwere talking and we could not get to sleep.I told my friends that l was afraid of the dark.The girls were still talking then we went to sleep.Amna did not get engough sleep the hole night.
