Year
 YMCA
 Camp
 –
 By
 Tino
 and
 Koustav

Last
 week
 year
 4
 went
 to
 YMCA
 in
 Banchang.

When
  we
  arrived
  we
  did
  lots
  of
  amazing
  activities
  like

kayaking,
  zip-­‐line,
  rock-­‐
  climbing,
  indoor
  games
  and

archery.
  After
  every
  activity
  we
  ate
  food
  but
  our

favorite
  meal
  was
  definitely
  breakfast.
  When
  we

finished
  all
  our
  activities
  we
  got
  a
  break
  and
  the
  boys

played
 football.
 Many
 of
 the
 children
 were
 missing
 their

parents.

At
  night
  we
  had
  an
  amazing
  bon
  fire
  where
  we
  played

fun
  games
  around
  the
  bon
  fire.
  When
  we
  went
  to
  our

cabins
  we
  had
  great
  fun
  making
  our
  own
  beds
  and
  we

took
 a
 shower
 and
 the
 water
 was
 extremely
 cold.
 After

we
  showered
  we
  went
  to
  bed
  and
  all
  of
  the
  year
  4SM

boys
  did
  not
  sleep
  for
  the
  whole
  night
  and
  year
  4JS

were
  playing
  Uno
  at
  night
  as
  well
  the
  year4
  SM
  girls

were
  sleeping
  although
  some
  of
  the
  girls
  were
  snoring

and
 the
 year
 4JS
 girls
 were
 also
 sleeping
 and
 snoring.

Next
  morning
  we
  ate
  breakfast
  and
  it
  was
  delicious.

They
 had
 ham,
 toasts,
 sausages
 and
 a
 variety
 of
 cereals.

After
  we
  had
  breakfast
  we
  carried
  on
  doing
  1-­‐2
  more

activities.
  After
  that
  we
  played
  some
  more
  indoor

games.
  We
  begged
  to
  play
  hide
  and
  seek
  but
  we

couldn’t
  because
  time
  was
  up
  and
  we
  travelled
  safely

back
  to
  St.
  Andrews.
  When
  we
  got
  back
  to
  school
  our

teachers
 gave
 us
 a
 cupcake
 and
 then
 we
 reached
 home

happily
 and
 met
 our
 parents
 who
 were
 waiting
 for
 us!
