My First School Camp Part 2

I spent the whole night packing for just that two days of my camp. Mummy helped me pack loads and loads of stuff into my camping bag that night. She must be anxious whether I would be able to sleep well, eat well, be safe.....  (I can't finish my list of examples or I would use up half of this page) She and Papa even drove past my school during my dinner time hoping to get a peep at me!! ;)
15th of March 2012

I went to school at eight forty-five in the morning, carrying an enormous camping bag. I dropped my bag off at a nearby classroom and went to join my friends at where we are supposed to go. We played some rather babyish games there like Splat and Murderer. My group was named Mermaid( I didn't choose the name). I had no idea why suddenly, my group was named Mermaid by our group leader who was eleven years old. We even got made fun of by some of the other groups like Yogi Bear though their group's name is much worse than ours. :(
We then proceeded to one of the classrooms and spent one and a half hours on boring leadership training and after that we finally got to eat our lunch. I don't think I should say eat. I only nibbled at some of the rice and sweet and sour pork! The rest of the food was just all unusual vegetables that I had never seen before. After lunch, we needed to tidy up the canteen and pick up little disgusting bits of food from the floor with our bare hands. I didn't want to do it nor my friends, but we were forced to do it by the teachers. Yuck! Anyway, there are even more gross things to come!
My group then came out with a group cheer. It was like this: 
Mermaid, mermaid we will decide your fate. 
We will win and you will lose, it is not for you to choose.
After that, we started our fun games! The first game that my group played was called Hula-hoop Walk. We had to hula-hoop and walk all the way to another place. It was very easy and we finished the whole game in four minutes. The second game was called Make-up Madness. There was a plate of flour and each of us had to put our face into that plate of flour. We also had to smudge a bit of green paint onto our noses! That was the worst game of all. >_<
We went for many more exciting games but the last game that my group went for was the best! There was a leaking pipe that was full of holes and most of us had to cover them. The rest of us carried styrofoam cups that were already broken on our heads so we were all very wet after the game.
After all the activities, we started our water bombing! Each group had a limited amount of water bombs that we could use to hit the other groups. It was extremely fun but soon, we had to all clean up. :(  Some of the groups( not my group ) got to bathe first and didn't need to help us to clean up our school.
After that, I went to bathe ( very cold water! ) in the toilet cubicles that people use to poop and pee! We  ate delicious fish and chips for dinner. That was the best meal of the whole camp!
At around eleven at night,we were all still all awake doing another activity that was called Water Source. The primary three and four students were supposed to find a water source and where it would end while the primary five students were to find pipes that were hidden all over the school and connect them together. The primary six students needed to write a poem about how precious water is.
Finally, at twelve midnight, we snuggled into our sleeping bags and tried to fall asleep. Unfortunately for me, I couldn't sleep so I fell asleep at two o'clock and woke up at six in the morning.
Wait for my next blog entry and I will tell you about my next day at the camp and my horrible night!
