The grade 4 camp

Last week we were on camp.We went to Simonsberg Christian centre

In the morning we got on the bus and we went to Giraffe house.
At Giraffe House they did a reptile show for us and we saw snakes such as pythons and so on.
We also saw zebra,llama,ostrich,giraffe,and we fed the goats.
We had ice-cream there.

When we got to the camp we unpacked our bags and went to our dorms.
When we were done in our dorms,Mrs Coetzee went on a walk around with us and explained the rules of the camp.A bit later we started building our forts in the forest.That night we went on a night hike and we looked up at the stars.I saw a shooting star and some satellites moving across the sky.

the next day we were split up into groups to do the activities.The activities were the obstacle course,river rafting,the plank area, and the hula-hooping.
later in the evening, we  had supper. After supper we went to sit by the bonfire for a bit.We sang some songs and roasted marshmallows.When we were done at the bonfire we went inside.We played a fun game called mummify were we had to wrap one of the people in our group using toilet paper.After that we went to bed.

the next day we had breakfast and then went outside to play until we left.When it was time to go we got on the bus and started the drive back to school.
I loved the camp because of the people that were there.
I loved coming back to see my parents but at the same time I would of liked to stay at the camp for a
longer amount of time.I loved the camp.

Our Visit To Sinai Academy

Last week we visited the Sinai Academy in Bloubergrant.It was a very nice experience to learn about the language and the religion. While we were there we learned about the shabbat,the Mount Sinai,the challah bread,the Torah,and the Rabbi.We wore yamakas. We listened to some grade 4s,5s,and 6s sing songs to us about their religion and we watched some videos about shabbat. There was a smaller/pre-primary school and there was a senior primary that was 2 doors down from the pre-primary school .We put coins into a tub that will go to someone that is less fortunate the we are. We went inside the shul for a bit a read the Jewish bible.In the background there where babies singing in Hebrew.The Rabbi blew a rams horn to show us what it sounded like.They showed us the Torahs that are kept inside the Ark that is covered with a special curtain. It was amazing to see and learn about their religion and I would love to go back to the Sinai Academy
