Day 3,4 and 5 Fascinating Days on Camp

The year 4 students were very enthusiastic and busy. They carried enormous bags to school. Guess what?.................They went on camp! It was an exciting moment for Joni and me because we haven't seen and talked to each other since we separated last Sunday. I travelled with the Brighton students and met Joni, with the Cornish campus students, at San Remo. Then we continued our journey to Philip Island. The camp was in Philip Island Adventure Resorts. It is a very awesome place for camp. It has very good facilities for camp. The children were risk-takers and curious to know how they would feel when attempting to go on a giant swing, circotron, flying fox and archery. Some of them tried very hard to challenge themselves to go higher beyond their limit on a giant swing. Some of their comments were ' I was afraid at the beginning, but at the end it was fun', 'When I was up there I decided to step back, but then it was cool, I really enjoyed it'. Joni tried to go on a giant swing and flying fox. I pretended that I was Robin Hood from Jakarta by doing the archery. During the camp the students learned how to be more independent as well as how to work cooperatively with their group to tidy up their bedroom and get ready for room inspection. They came up with different ways when welcoming their teachers to their room. Some of them sang a song, acted as reporter or flight attendants. They were creative, weren't they ? At night time they had a concert and watched VCD called Monster.Inc. In addition, They were also responsible and showed commitment when doing their duties such as setting up and packing up the table before and after breakfast, lunch and dinner. They really enjoyed the time when using the vacuum cleaner. They sang and danced while doing it. We also found out that they were inquirers when asking the ranger lots of questions about Koalas in Koala Conservation Park and searching for objects in the Smiths Beach. They made predictions how the objects had got to the beach. Some of them were caring when finding a dead seal, kind of fury seal. The amazing part was when we saw the penguins parade at Nobbies. They were very cute when came out from the sea and walked to the bushes.

Anak-anak kelas empat sangat antusias dan sibuk. Mereka membawa tas yang besar ke sekolah. Ayo tebak ... Ada apa?................Mereka akan pergi ke Pulau Philip untuk berkemah lebih tepatnya kegiatan luar sekolah karena mereka tidak tidur di tenda. Ini juga merupakan saat-saat yang menyenangkan bagi Joni dan saya karena kami akan bertemu kembali setelah berpisah pada hari minggu yang lalu tanpa kabar berita sedikitpun. Murid-murid dari kampus Brighton dan saya akan bertemu dengan murid-murid dari kampus Cornish dan Joni di San Remo. San Remo adalah kota terakhir sebelum menuju Pulau Philip. kegiatan kami berlokasi di "Philips Islands Adventure Resort'. Tempatnya sangat menarik dan mempunyai fasilitas yang sangat bagus. Di sana murid-murid mengambil resiko dan menunjukkan sikap ingin tahu seperti apa rasanya mencoba permainan yang ada di sana seperti ayunan raksasa, 'flying fox', 'circotron' dan panahan. Beberapa diantara mereka mencoba dengan sangat gigih bahkan ada yang mencoba ketinggian di luar batas keberaniannya ketika bermain ayunan raksasa. Beberapa anak-anak berkomentar:"Pada awalnya saya takut, tapi ternya permainan ini sangat mengasyikan", "Ketika saya berada di atas sana saya merasa ingin mundur saja tapi kemudian saya mencobanya dan ternyata sangat menyenangkan, saya benar-benar menyukainya". Saya mencoba menjadi Robin Hood dari Jakarta dengan belajar memanah. Selama kegiatan tersebut berlangsung murid-murid belajar mandiri ketika merapikan tempat tidur mereka sekaligus bekerja sama dalam tim bagaimana menyambut kedatangan guru mereka ketika memeriksa kamar mereka. Mereka menyambut guru yang datang untuk memeriksa dengan bernyanyi, berakting sebagai reporter maupun pramugari. Mereka kreatif kan? Pada malam harinya mereka mengadakan pertunjukkan dan menonton VCD yang berjudul 'Monster. Inc'. Mereka juga bertanggung jawab danmenunjukkan sikap komitmen ketika menjalankan tugas piket mereka seperti menata dan merapikan meja sebelum dan sesudah makan pagi, siang dan malam. Mereka juga menyukai saat mereka menggunakan vakum pembersih lantai. Mereka melakukannya dengan bernyanyi dan menari. Kami juga melihat mereka inkuri ketika bertanya kepada 'ranger' mengenai koala dan benda-benda yang ada di pantai ketika mereka mengunjungi Pantai 'Smiths'. Mereka juga peduli ketika melihat bangkai anjing laut yang mereka temukan di pantai .Hal yang paling memukau adalah ketika kami melihat parade penguin di Nobbies. Mereka sangat lucu ketika keluar dari laut dan berjalan pulang ke sarang mereka di semak-semak.
