Michael Grant task 1

Autobiographical writing by Michael Grant 
On our first week of school we had our year 7 Camp at cataract Scout Park. When we first arrived we went in the dining hall to eat lunch. We had sandwiches then we headed to our first activity for group three rock climbing. I was the person that held the climber on our wall.

After rock climbing we had pioneering, where we made catapults. We had Daniel in our group so it was all good. When we finished making the catapults we shot water balloons at each other it didn’t go too well no one really got wet.

 Then after pioneering we had dinner penne Bolognese with salad it was pretty good. Everyone was pumped for what we had next, the waterslide, a 40metre slide. After dinner we had an explanation of the to the waterslide. After that we went to the waterslides at 7pm we all were so exited I took off my shoes and lined up. On the first go I had to sit up but on the second go Noah, Bryson and I did a train. It was so much fun until we packed up at had to go to bed. About 30 minutes after lights out, all the cabins (except for ours) was having a party until Mr. Garret came in and told everyone to stand outside the cabin facing the wall for 5 minutes the we went to bed.

The next day was really fun, we had caving first which was really fun. We all went through a cave with spiders, toads and goannas we went thought main chambers stood in the blackout room which was as close as pitch black. Then we went to the other side our instructor asked us if we wanted to go back with no torches about half of us said yes and back we went it was so much better because we went through a tight space it was like a secret passage out.

After caving was orienteering we all got a map and a compass and mark off checkpoints. Our team was Jared, Sam and Hannah we were all good up to number 7 we went the wrong way. We wasted time we went the other way after 20 minutes and we saw Dario's team just sitting there but we helped them but they went the wrong way so we all just went back we were all sick of orienteering.

Then after we had lunch we had challenging valley. The muddiest activity in the site, we went thought muddy obstacle everyone got so muddy and wet. After challenging valley we had another go on the water slide. For another hour then dinner all the same then that night we had night activities then about 10 minutes through the lights went out we all thought it was a game turns out it was a black out it lasted like 18 hours so we did night activates in the dark.

The next day still no power. We had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Then off to the flying fox we had our explanation then we had our go we ran to get our equipment I gave mine to Gabi. Then waited for my go next was Alexandre we bucked up and jumped off 3 story building and fly when we dropped the rope and got off.

After that we had the giant swing a 15 metre swing. I was so scared when it was my go I was shaking when I went up. I was so scared then I pulled the rope then it didn’t go then I did it again then I freefell 15 metres I screamed – but it was my favourite activity after that we had lunch the went home and that was the end of year 7 camp.
