On Tuesday we went to the ferry terminal to meet our friends and teachers. Then they gave us groups (travel groups) there were 6 of them. Then we boarded the ferry. Everybody brought AT LEAST two snacks so we had a feast. Then we had an idea of battling the girls on the other side of the table in UNO… it ended as a draw. When we arrived to Bintan we immediately hopped on a bus. About 1 hour later we arrived at Loola. When we arrived, I saw a … FOOTBALL PITCH! Loola was big but the houses didn't look that good from the outside and the bathroom wasn't so nice… Then we had a nice short talk (it took like 30 mins). When we finished talking we got to play. I obviously started playing football.
When we were done we had to check our room which was poor (no offense). So then we started doing activities. We did the safe water garden which was extremely exhausting and long. Then we came back, played then took a shower (not all people) and then we had dinner which almost no one liked (no offense to the chef). At night, we went to sleep. But then a few of us had to go to the bathroom. When we were walking to the bathroom, I heard a noise and checked it out and … (dramatic music), WE SAW A STATUE OPEN ITS MOUTH… Then we ran for our lives… Then we went back to sleep, but the girls were flashing torches in our dorm! So we told the teacher. Then we went back to sleep. Then a few of the boys woke up, then they woke us up, then everyone woke up and it was CHAOS. And the girls told on us. Then I got up. Later it was time for activities. We did the coconut climbing, skywalk and pizza making. Then we left.

This week the grade four and five classes went to Loola camp in Bintan.
We built two safe water gardens for the local community and did a lot of adventurous activities. How did we get to Bintan? First we endured a gruelling two and a half hour ferry ride. Then an even worse one hour long bus ride. And finally arrived at Loola camp. On the first day we arrived. We had a short briefing and lunch. After that we were shown the girls and boys cabin. And changed out of our school clothes. After that we were sorted into four activity groups. Group one and two stayed at camp and did two activities and group three and four went to built a safe water garden for a family in Bintan. I was in group one so i’ll mostly talking about group one and two. On the first day group one and two did the skywalk and coconut tree climbing. The skywalk is when you climb a ladder and jump off a platform wearing a harness. It was super fun activity number two was coconut tree climbing. It's exactly like it sounds. That night was the worst. I barely slept an hour because at about three in the morning the boys started to scream. Empathise scream, Nobody slept till six in the morning and at that time it was about time to wake up, everyone was so sleepy. On the morning of the second day group one and two built the safe water garden, at the end everyone was so sore. After lunch on that day group one and two did water activities. We did boom-netting, kayaking and dragon kayaking. Boom-netting is when you jump off a boat into a net. Dragon Kayaking is when you and a lot of other people row a long kayak together. On the last night we had a campfire, All of us sat in a circle and told scary stories and sang songs, It was wonderful. On the last night the boys woke the girls up again by screaming. Nobody slept that night either The next morning we were supposed to go back to Singapore. We did rock climbing and zip lining. It's exactly like it sounds. In conclusion camp had its pros and cons. But overall it was an amazing. It was a great experience. This week we went to Loola for three days. We did safe water garden,skywalk,coconut tree climbing,rock climbing,flying fox,boomnet and kayaking. We had lots of fun in Loola.
When I got there I made the safe water garden.It was fun. I was happy to make a safe water garden for people, because we are helping the environment. We were carrying rocks, sand and bricks, digging, drilling and sawing. The next day we did boomnet and kayaking. It was fun when we did the boomnet. I was jumping from the 2nd floor. When kayaking I thought the water was deep but it was only up to my ankle. The last day I did coconut tree climbing and sky walk. I did the coconut tree climbing first. I climbed barefoot to get a better grip on the tree. That’s what real tree climbers do. The grade 4 and grade 5 camp to Loola was the best camp, because I made new friends. It was cool and amazing, because I was able to stay away from my parents for two nights. It felt good to help the people in Loola to make the safe water garden. This week the grade 4 and 5 students went to Bintan.We did lots of activities.We rode a ferry to Bintan when we came back we also rode a ferry.i had an amazingly good time.
THe grade 4 and 5 went there by ferry.When we went to Bintan. it took 2 hours and when we came back it took 2 hours and 30 minutes.And when we reached bintan we rode buses to Loola for 45 minutes. When we reached Loola they showed us our dorms and we choose where we are going to sleep.Celine was sleeping on my right and Daisy was sleeping on my left.on the fiRst night me and Celine did not sleep that well but on the second night we slept good. On the first Day, Group 1 and 2 went to do 3 activities. It was making pizza, a sky walk and coconut tree climbing. But Group 3 and 4 went to build a safe water garden for a family. On the second day, group 3 and 4 did kayaking, Boom netting, rock climbing and zip lining while group 1 built a safe water garden and did boom netting and kayaking. On the final day, Group 1 and 2 did rock climbing and zip lining. And Group 3 and 4 did climbing a coconut tree and sky walk. In conclusion, we went to Loola camp. And it was amazing. Loola camp is in Bintan. This week we were camping on [ Bintan Island, Indonesia ]. There were various activities, but it was a very fun camp. For example, I don’t like rice very muth, or the zip line I was injured and I couldn’t do it. What I enjoyed was playing with my friends and making pizza. There were many things, but it was a very fun camp! This week the G4 and G5 went to the Loola camp in Bintan.We went there to do some exciting activities and made a safe water garden for the poor people.This week has been amazing!!!! We got there by taking a ferry that took one and a half hours.The bus from the ferry station took about 45 minutes. The safe water garden took about an hour to make. We met the family that lived in the house.In the family they had 7 kids. Some of the activities were rock climbing, the flying fox, kayaking, dragon kayaking and pizza making.I liked the kayaking and the pizza making the most.I didn’t do the flying fox because you had to be really high up. In conclusion, the trip was really fun.In the beginning i was scared.But in the end I didn't want to leave. This week G4/G5 students went to Loola camp in Bintan. We built two safe water gardens for the people for the local people. The camp was so tiring The activities were scary and some were fun. It was just once ina lifetime. I don’t think I will do these activities ever again. These are the worst/scariest activities in the camp that I did sky walking, building the safe water garden and the trip on the ferry/boat. It was so cold that I had flu! The scariest situation that I got threw was when… me and Seheon woke up at 3:34 am and discovered a Devil’s house! I was sick because I think it was too hot or I didn't drink enough water. And the last night at Loola I just leaped on the bed and closed my eyelids and drifted off to sleep. On the way back to Singapore on the ferry, we got food in a leaf. In conclusion, the camp was an experience. At first, I thought camp was bad but it was fun. Camp, relax. This week I was in G4, G5 Loola camp in Bintan which is kind of near Singapore, that’s where I live. We did a scary activity called “sky walk”. It was really scary as I could pee inside my pants! But when I jumped from a log, it was really fun! This week was amazing.
Firstly, I will talk about the ferry. The ferry took a long time. It was 1 hour 30 minutes! It took so long so I played a card game with Peter and Seihon. Next I am going to explain about coconut tree climbing. Coconut tree climbing was kind of scary but I climb up the tree’s top! It was hard to see where I should put my leg but I didn’t give up because the goal was almost there. Lastly I’ll talk about foods. The food was really delicious as I could eat in 1 second, like foods disappeared so I truly ate fast because it was yummy! In conclusion, I really enjoyed this week in Bintan. My favourite activity was coconut tree climbing. I loved this week! I am happy
I am happy because I bought LEGO. I am happy because I play games. I am happy because I eat chicken. I am sad because my toy car broke. G4/G5 Loola Camp
