We had to pay our school fees to Sir. The District Inspector came and we had to recite a poem, say our 17 timestables and sing 'London's Burning' but we didn't sing the original version.Instead of 'fire,fire fire,fire pour on water, pour on water,' we sang Nick Kent's version of 'ooh baby come and kiss me.' It was hilarious!Everyone was laughing except for Sir, who was very disapointed because he couldn't get a pay rise.

3:30
School finishes. We get back to our cabins and get our luggages ready to load onto the bus.We took the bus back to Greythorn........tired out!We got out of the bus, took our luggages with us and met our parents who were waiting for us!

Overall, it was a great and educational camp as it is related to the term's topic of Australia's history. We all definitely enjoyed ourselves.
