My camp reflection

I liked camp.  The best part for me was the hike. It was 4 1/2 hours long.  After the hike we camped. Maddy needed the toilet at night and when Natasha, Maddy and I went out there where tons of stars you usally can not see that was great. I also liked going to Narnia (going down the tunnel).  Sadly we did not get to meet Aslan because the boys in my group killed him apparently.  Anyway camp was good.  

(I didn't like the toilets though.)

It was our group’s turn to go camping. There was a short road from the “Outward Bound Headquarters” to the camping site that I could probably have run in about 30 minutes, but to make it more of a challenge we had to hike there via a longer route. Most of us were way behind our instructors Shaun and Shi- Wa.

Going up the steep, muddy path was hard work- especially with a 10-kilo backpack, it was hard to walk, let alone climb! (Part of what made the backpacks so heavy was that we were each carrying 3-4 liters of water, we never actually ended up drinking any of it though, so obviously it was just another way to make the hike tougher!).

We clambered up the hill and then, finally, we got to the top (at least of that path). There was a Chinese Temple up here - with lions carved out of stone on either side of the red door, with golden studs on it. Oli and me thought it must be the “Holy Temple of Fitness” or something, but then somebody said that the Chinese people put it there so it was closer to the heavens and all of the Gods.

Since we were exhausted we were allowed to stop and eat on the steps of the temple. We had brought some the things needed to make a sandwich. We all happily sat down and had lunch. Then it was time to move on, but now we had to do something much worse! The next part didn’t have a path, it was just a jungle. At first there were some stones and a few odd branches that had fallen over but then it became dense mountain terrain. We were all wondering if there was a point to this and asked if we could take a break - but surprisingly, Shaun said “No”.

There was next to no sunlight and the trees were getting shorter and shorter, there were more fallen branches and low ones too making the journey more and more difficult.  Shaun claimed he had been on this walk a lot of times but we weren’t sure whether to believe him because there was not even a visible trail! Then we came to a really hard bit where the mud was slippery and there was a steep slope - and right at the top of the slope was a cluster of thorn bushes, and no trees to grab onto. I was first but I kept slipping and couldn’t do it, but eventually I found another way round.

When we finally got to the campsite, after five hours of hiking, I was surprised!  I’d thought it would be a proper campsite with some facilities, like toilets and showers – but it was just a patch of grass by a path! Anyway I was really glad to have arrived and so relieved to take off my pack.   I wasn’t relieved for long though because as soon as the truck came we had to lug all the supplies up the path and to where we were going to pitch the tents.

A couple of people were assigned to work with Shaun to make the dinner and the rest of us had to pitch the tents. It was six o’clock when we had finished that so we had dinner, which was really good considering that they’d cooked it out in the middle of now where! After dinner Shaun told us about the history of Outward Bound which was established in World War II to toughen people up for the army!!!!

It was nice to finally snuggle into my sleeping bag on this, my third and last night at Outward Bound. I thought about some of the things I’d done; crawling through a narrow drain, jumping into freezing cold water, hiking up that mountain with that stupid backpack, having my sleep disturbed by people snoring! Not all of these things were fun at the time, but they were useful experiences. I enjoyed challenging myself, generally being more independent, and having these four days away from school, with my friends!

Camp Reflection

Before camp I thought that camp was worried of jumping into the cold water (so did my mum).  But at the same time I was really excited because I thought that we would do kayaking but instead I did rafting.In this picture I was a risk-taker because I took  risk which was to jump into the cold water and I was also a communicator because I needed to plan how we should make our raft out of 4 short bamboos, 4 long bamboos and 4 barrels because if we didn't communicate with each other then our boat will sink.  

I changed throughout the camp because I walked through the hike farther than I thought I would.  Also I think I pushed my personal boundaries because I did things that I wouldn't normally do like go through a sewer (or tunnel), swinging around on a rope, walking in a place I've never came before at night, hike for about 3hrs, jump into the cold water in the start of December, navigate a place I've never came before.  I really enjoyed the hike because I was navigating the hike and I really liked that.  I learned that we shouldn't be negative or keep thinking that we will never be able to do it because if we do then we would be grim and wouldn't really want to do it.  

I also liked sleeping in the tents even though we already did it last year (the tents were bigger than last year's and the sleeping bag was more comfortable).  I also kind of enjoyed the food while camping and I was happy that the cooks did their best to make our food.

Y6 CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!^_^
REFLECTION




When I went to camp i was so so excited because i thought
everything was cool/calm and easy as holding a thing but yet i was so so WRONG  because everything was hardcore except the games and land activities because on Tuesday when we were going to Outward Bound( Sai Kung) to camp we made our group name: THE STAlKERS and then we got to know our instructors Jeremy and Gladwin. so overall i thought the camp i did for four days was fun and very

fun and hardcore, it was fun because we got to do exciting stuff like go into cold water or make a raft and stuff like that and it was hardcore because you needed to pay a lot of attention and listen and walk a lot and move too. I enjoyed Y6 camp and i also learned to be independent and not be lazy......^

Jasper's Awesome Camp Experience 4/12-7/12

Jasper's Awesome Camp Experience Of Awesomeness :D

So In My Opinion, I Thought This Camp Was... Awesome! And Quite Cool.

The Thing I Liked About Camp Was All The Goals They Made For Us Is Quite Challenging And Hard. Basically In A Nutshell My Group"The Stalkers" Didn't Finish Anything, Because When We Were On The Raft We Built, It Was Unstable And Half Of The Raft Broke Apart While We Were Trying To Stable The Raft. On The Dragon Boat, Our Team Leader Gladwin Said That We Weren't Trying As Hard As The Other Group "Hotshots". And At Last Hiking, Some Of Us Were At The Back And Some Of Us Were At The Front And Gladwin Always Reminds Everyone That The First Rule Of Orientating Was To Always Stick Together No Matter What Happens But We Didn't Follow That Rule So That Even The Easiest Goal We Didn't Achieve. I Don't Know If It Was Us Or It Was The Coach But Everything Looked Like It Was Very Hard To Achieve For Us. But I Still Enjoyed It :D

This is a photo of  my group called: "The super happy rainbow fudge!"  all of us was in a line, and we were waiting for our certificates to be given. Rhino(our instructor)

gave us our certificates. The certificate was white with blue flowers  around the corners.

 

This is a photo of all of our instructors getting ready to give out the   certificates.

Camp Reflection

In camp, I think the best part of camp was Hiking. 

Our group did a lot of land activity but we didn't really do much water activities. 

Land activities: Camping, Hiking, Games, Making our own Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. And... EATING!!^o^

Water Activity: Rafting.

 I liked Hiking because it was really fun, even though it was hard and we kept slipping and sliding. A lot of boys sliped ten times in a row. What I didn't like was: Camping, Games and for Rafting, I only liked when we actually rided the thingy that we made. The rest of Rafting was kinda... BORING!! 

camp reflection:

on camp i didn't really learn a lot of things because we missed out on lots of the fun activity's.the only thing that i did do that was quite weird was crawling through a sewer and we got really dirty and...

DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FINISH IT

                                                             Getting ready for camping

On Wednesday we got up and we had to get everything ready for when we go camping/ tenting and hiking. first we packed our personal belongings and then we went down to the cage and got bag and a yellow rain jacket.
I choose this picture because it makes me laugh at the rain coats and it makes me feel like I was on track getting everything ready and done so I was kind of being principled. what I could of done on Wednesday was that I could of tried to help a bit more

Camp reflection

 This is a picture of me Alicia, Adelaide and Vidur. This camp has been one of the best so far the weather has been cold and the water was just freezing cold. I choose this picture because it was one of my favorite activity and a fun activity. This activity was really fun because you had a rope and we were a group so we all had to hold the rope and we had to get as much signatures from the leaders, but we could only get signatures by doing a drama dance singing or magic. we usually choose dance. Then we also could get more points by finding things on this map. So the first round are group one for the most points, but then the second round we came second.!! I think I was a risk taker because we had to do a solo night walk for 8 minutes, my group was the only one that had to do it because are leader believed in us and we told her that we believed in are self. So we were all scared of the dark it was 8:00 it was dark 1 person was crying! The point of the activity was to face a fears and we all did it because we believed in are self's. So we were all risk takers!!

Outward Bound HK

                                                            Outward Bound Reflection

At Outward Bound it was my best camp I ever had in my life, I learnt lots of things that can help me in my life time like being patient or being a risk-taker and that is the learner profile.  The whole year 6 separated into groups with 2 or 1 instructor in each group.  Our team made up a name and we called our-self " "Mustard!".  Our 2 instructors are called Shaun and Shi-Wa.

I faced lots of challenges especially staying in the cold water.  It also made me think about people who don't have food and cold water.  It also made me think about how people don't have good hygiene.  I learnt allot from this camp.  I never thought I can learn that much

Rafting!

Rafting!

We made our group raft that had to float in the water! It was hard because of the heavy barrels and bamboo.
The first raft we made was a fail, and sunk into the water. Then the instructors helped us to build another raft which of course was better and could fit 12 people in it.

          In the week during camp I did lots of exiting and fun things such as 

          Ice skating, Ocean Park, Did sports and went to museums.

          My most memorable thing i did was going to Ocean Park in the

          Hair Raser which can be a little risky for some people but that

          is the most memorable thing i did.

Tai's Camp Reflection

  Y6 Outward Bound camp

December 4-7

By Tai Williams

Personally I think this was the best camp yet.
I really enjoyed all the activities because they were very challenging, especially the hiking. Lots of year 6 kids from the past had told me that it was be really bad: the food, the activities and the dorms. But the food was nice, the dorms were cool and the activities were amazing. The coaches were really nice but one coach, Rhino, creeped me out. my coaches names were Ashish and Calum. AShish was an Indian guy and Calum was Scottish.

Overall I don’t think any camp will outmatch the one we just had and if one does, it has got to be good. Like, really good.

OBHK And Jonathan- A Reflection

Outward Bound Or OBHK (As What I Will Refer The Camp To Be Called), Was by far the most best camp I have ever been to. In OBHK, we were seperated into groups of 12 with 2 instructors. Every group got to choose their team name, and our team came up with               "The Stalkers" for our group name.



Jonathan- First Row 3rd Person To The Right

When I first came to OBHK I was a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Why? Because I didn't know what to expect. But I was also excited because I wouldn't need to do homework I have to do everyday. 

OBHK is just like real life or staying in a university. We go out each day to complete an activity. 
In total our group did  activities. Our activities were- Rafting, Hiking, Camping, Dragon Boating And Building A Mascot For Our Group.

My photo shows me infront of the Wilson Trail. It was where HK fought from when the Japanese attacked. Now it is a hiking trail but the trail  used to be there so the soilders could reach the bunkers before the enemy could find them.

Golden Bauhinia Square and Blue House by Carol Lam

 This is me in front of the Golden Bauhinia Statue, which is 6 meters tall.

 Me with the Hong Kong and Chinese flags behind me.

The inscription on the Golden Bauhinia which commemorates the Handover.

The Golden Bauhinia Square is an open park-like space in Wan Chai, in front of the Convention and Exhibition Center. The Convention and Exhibition Center is where many exhibitions and trade fairs are held, as well as being the venue of the Handover in 1997. There is a flag-raising event there every morning at 8:00am. The statue there is 6 meters tall, with a red granite pyramid as a base.

 The Blue House, a pre-war building is located behind me in this picture.

The Yellow House, another pre-war building next to the Blue House.

The Blue House is a 4-storey building in Stone Nullah Lane, Wan Chai. It is called the Blue House because of the blue paint on its external walls. It is classified as a Grade I historical building. In 2007, The Urban Renewal Authority and the Development Bureau both announced that the residents of the building would be allowed to remain.
