We were at our camp fire that was at our camp site. It was so dark we had to bring flash lights, head lights, lamps and more. It was so cold and some of us were in our PJs kind of early (but it was looking like it was 6 something in the morning - well kind of!) I was one of the people that were in their PJs so I was warm and cosy. I even climbed a tree in them before it got dark. Ms. Hutchins came on our camping trip but she came after us because she had to go to school. I saw her before I got in my pjs. |
At the idea of the night hike, some people felt scared, some people felt good, some people felt in the middle. I felt good, and in the middle.
First we did a count off and lineup. It was hard to lineup in the dark. It was so cold but I was wearing my PJs shirt, my sweaters, my PJ pants too. We had to bring flashlights, headlights and lamps.
Then we started to walk. All of our lights were on. Then we turned them off. We saw... OK are you ready? OK I'm going to say it... we saw the milky way. It was so cool and there was so many stars. OK here it comes again... it was so cool.
We turned our lights back on and we started to walk again. A lot of people started to have fun and even the people that did not want to come, they had fun too.
First we had to be quiet so we could hear the bats. We kind of did this and kind of did not. It was so fun, I wish we could come back again.
I kind of felt tired and I think other people kind of were too. We were going up a hill, well kind of, and kind of going down the hill.
OK, I almost forgot, OK are you ready? OK here it goes.. The thing that we saw was a star called Rigel. I think it was in the milky way. It is actually funny because we have a classmate named Rigel.
We came back to the campsite for story time. Ms. Chown was going to read Harry Potter but she forgot her book. It was a good thing that Rigel brought his own Harry Potter book! So Ms. Chown read that book. It was the same book that we are reading with the class but it was his book!
Then we got ready to go to bed. First we brushed our teeth, then we kind of got ready for bed because some of us were still talking in our tents, reading, playing a board game. I was one of those people and my tent was playing a game for a short time... and talking.
