Everyone with handphones, watches and alarm clocks woke up at the given time. We washed up, changed and went for breakfast.For breakfast we had scrambled eggs, hash brown, baked beans and fish fillet. We did not take long to finish our breakfast, so while waiting, we talked to our friends.
The first activity needed us to split into 2 groups. I can't remember my group's name but i know that the other group's name was Shabalaba Ding Dong(weird name right?) Our first activity was to make the balloons stand by itself and it has to be the same height as the dining chair. And our group was the first one to finish.
Our second activity was to find 10 different leaves, 5 different flowers(i think) and 5 different fruits (i think). And we managed to find all of them, we then went to the office to show the things we collected to the person in charge of this game (her name is Michelle). And do you want to know the results, she said that it was ok! Yay!
The next activity was to collect 5(or was it 4) different bottles and we have to use the toilet paper and we have to stick together as a group and try not to let the toilet paper break(sorry if there are so many 'ands') We had to do it a few times, but finally we managed to collect all of bottles. Hooray again!
Our second last activity was that an egg would be dropped from shoulder height and you have to find a way so that it would not break. Our group collected rocks, grass, leaves and bird feather too! We also used the straws provided for us.Now it is the moment of truth, when Aunty Michelle dropped the egg, there wasn't even a crack. How great is that?!
After that she passed us a sheet of paper that has many pictures on it and that was also our last activity. She told us the instructions and soon we were off finding those pictures. We took quite long finding them although we ran most of the time, we still came in second. What a pity! We were first for the 4 activities. But we came in second for the last!
Anyway we still got the prize. It was actually the same as the other group. So it is kind of fair.
Soon it was lunch time, we had barbecued sausage and meat. We ate the sausage with bread and it was super yummy! We also ate some chicken wings and it was delicious too. When we ate all of this, we were all quite full.
The teachers gave us a few minutes to get our cameras and water bottles as we would be spending the rest of the day outside. When we gathered at the usual spot, we saw a man with his dog and puppies. They were so cute! I also went to pet them.And guess what? He is also going to show us the sheep shearing demo today! The man's dog was actually a sheep dog.
After the man showed us the sheep shearing demo, we got to feed animals like horses, sheeps, oupacas and more. We also named the oupacas names and it was very funny. We then headed to the winery, where they had a wine-making talk.
After the wine-making talk, we went back to our cabin to rest and shower. We went to the office at the given time and had dinner ( I can't remember what we had on that day).
After dinner, we had our campfire night. We sang camp songs and also roasted marsh mallows. We got to see the moon rise too! We went back to our cabin and did our work and reflections. After that, we went to sleep. And get ready to wake up very early in the morning.
