Finn did not drown, pike out or die from the canteen food (which he described as disgusting!) at his school camp (Wed-Friday this week). He did get a bullseye in archery, get covered in mud on a blindfolded obstacle course, make a raft and then race in it, rockclimb and sail. His new friend got cross at him and the other boys in their room for being messy and preventing them from winning the tidiest room award (perhaps we should have warned him about Finn and tidy...).
Hardest thing was going to sleep at night in the pitch black (that's how the other three boys in his room like to sleep but it made him scared and then he couldn't sleep). Other than that, it sounds like he had a grand time, particularly at the talent night where it sounds like there were some real class clowns performing.
We met him at the car park at school and we all had an icecream before coming home to his favourite dinner of ham and pineapple pizza and then the boys set to with their new Lego sets.
Three cheers to our little man for having the guts to go off into the wilds of outer Cambridge and spend three days and two nights with a bunch of kids he only met a month ago.
And three more cheers for our littler man for going off on the school bus without his big brother. He was busy looking after his friend Heloise.
Finn we are very impressed that you went on the school camp and you are only 8 years old, well done, but we are sure you have had some great adventures with your new friends. Fancy getting a bullseye at Archery, perhaps you might take it up seriously when you are older...who knows!
ReplyDeleteWe are very proud of Sean too going on the bus with his little friend. love G.Ma and G.Pa
Gee Finn a holiday at Camooweal should be a breeze after that lot!!
