Survival on Camp Alex provides great tips for surviving camp On Monday the 8th of February, the Year 7 cohort left Pulteney to go on a camping adventure on Kangaroo Island (KI). There, they did many things such as cook, set up, sleep in tents and go on long hikes. While this might not sound fun for everyone, once there the Year 7s discovered that there was lots of fun stuff to do and it was a fantastic bonding experience. Knowing that Year 6s are often worried about the Year Seven camp, I went and spoke to Alex Candy a Year Seven who survived this years’ Year Seven camp on KI. When asked about the best part of camp, Alex responded with, “We saw and did so many cool things, it’s hard to pick one, but the best bits for me were Little …show more content…
If you are worried about camp here are Alex Candy’s top ten survival tips as he has been through many camps before. Alex Candy’s top 10 camp survival tips: 1. Pack your day bag the night before you leave. Getting up early for camp is a drag, it is best to be ready to go first, lest you forget something or are late. 2. Apply sun screen at the start of each day. Trust me getting sunburnt on camp is no fun, so make sure you use sun screen early and often. 3. Choose your tent partners wisely. Tent Partners who talk or snore all night are real pests, so choose wisely. 4. Make sure that you get one of the first sand boards at Little Sahara. Little Sahara is fantastic but standing in line for a sand board is really boring, try to get to front of the queue. 5. Don’t ask for seconds. Asking for seconds at meal time is big no go because you won’t get seconds. 6. Listen during the day if you want to eat first. The camp instructors ask questions about the day and if you get the answers you eat first, this is really important when you’re really
What a horrible horrible day it was. It all started the first day of 6th grade here at Memorial Middle School. My mom walked in with me to get my schedule because we didn’t go to open house. I went up to my protime and it was in the art room with Mrs. Teerink. My mom sat down at a table with me and I was really scared and embarrassed. Then, to make it even worse, I started bawling my eyes out. While a lot of people walked in, and by a lot of people it was like 20, but it felt like it was a million.
One in four American children live in food-insecure households, meaning that they lack adequate access to food of any type, not just food with significant nutritional value (Ford, 2013, p. 58). As these families are the most likely to have children who both leave for and return home from school to an empty house, they are also the most likely to have children who prepare meals for themselves. Often, children fail to nourish themselves, skipping meals when they are running late or because they find nothing in the pantry they are capable of preparing. These students ready themselves (and sometimes siblings) for school and frequently don’t take their first meal until mid-day, losing precious hours of instructional time to distraction over food, fatigue due to low levels of nourishment, and other physical ailments tied to poor nutrition. If school breakfasts were free and readily available to all public school students, morning meals would be
Meals occur constantly in actual life, yet we do not realize their importance. We often

The past two years I have been getting the education at, RHAM Middle School (RMS) and I do have to say that things have changed so much. My seventh grade year I was so terrified because I thought I would get lost and I thought the eighth graders would beat me up or something. But, then going into eighth grade year I was really excited because now my class and I were the rulers of the middle school and it just felt good because I was scared about being bullied or getting lost and not knowing where I’m going. Overall my two years at RHAM Middle School have been really good and I have enjoyed it. There is a lot of homework throughout the year and I’m not gonna complain about the homework because homework is what helps us make sure we understand what we are doing in class. It also helps us with teaching us how to be responsible and
In 7th grade I was unfocused, unprepared, and childish. I didn’t know my grades would have an impact on my high school career. I thought everything that happened in middle school stayed in middle school so I focused on useless drama. I used to blame my C’s on bad teaching but now I realize I have no one else to blame but myself. I was the one coming to school unprepared to work not my teachers. Now I know all of my grades count. I have blossomed into a person I am proud of. This year I’ve made it my mission to actually pass not just get by. I now sit promptly in the front of the class and take notes. I focus on test scores and grades not drama that’s not even going to matter next week. I now know what’s important and what I should just leave
Summer school is beneficial to students. it Promotes social development and personal growth. It encourages physical activity and routine. Students get in low income groups when they don't go to summer school because they forget stuff. Summer school is beneficial to students.
Wonder what it is like at Stafford Middle School? We have great physical and human geographic features. To begin with, we have clean floors that are mopped by the janitors and tables that are wiped down, also by the janitors everyday. We also have a clean football field that is made of turf, which makes it look nicer and cleaner. We have a safe school that is made of bricks, which protects us from storms and tornadoes.
Middle School boys are the worst, trust me, I’ve experienced both sides of it. I’ve been slammed into lockers and well, one time I threw a kid into a locker and I promise, it was totally justified. Anyway, things don’t get much better with freshman boys in high school, they’re just as insecure as they were in middle school (trust me, very insecure!!) except now there are guys three or four years older than them instead of one or two. By their sophomore and junior year, they’ve actually built up some real, genuine self-esteem and are actually capable of achieving some things; unfortunately, that all goes by the wayside when senioritis hits and “A’s are bae” turns into “C’s get degrees” and “C’s get degrees” turns into “D’s don’t get rescinded.”
The next morning they got up and went through the camp, they found food, a map and a cell phone that didn't work and etc… and that's all I remember.
It immediately becomes clear to me that camp rules are enforced for a reason. Breaking the rules is thrilling and pleasurable at times, but there are always consequences, whether transparent or not. My multicolored, swollen eye originated from breaking the rules the previous night––rules I should have never broken in the first place. Mr. Tony makes me understand that living life on the edge is not always the most beneficial way to live life. I do not regret the water balloon fight because it created a wonderful memory for my friends and me, but I will think twice before I violate any more camp
Back when I was first learning math, in 2nd grade, I remember being very confused. See, I had moved from Arkanson Nebraska to Carroll Iowa, in the time between preschool and kindergarten. I definitely, remember learning to read in the first class when I came to Carroll. I vaguely remember counting, learning to add and subtract too. Then in all my memories of first grade, it seemed to me that I had never had a math class. All of a sudden in 2nd grade, teachers were asking me to multiply and divide. At the beginning of the year, my teacher set a piece of paper in front of all of us then set a timer for one minute. When she started the timer we were supposed to do as many problems as possible. I didn’t do one, I was preoccupied with the time limit and would freak out that there was a whole sheet full of problems that I couldn’t get done in that one minute. It was very stressful. Meanwhile, all the other students were having no trouble
In Coon Rapids, Minnesota, it can be very quiet. But when you live by a busy elementary school, things are different. I live right across from the Hamilton Elementary School. During the winter, things get very dangerous and it needs to stop. During the winter, the streets get very full of snow and ice, causing the roads to be slippery, and the plows don’t come as often as they should. In the morning, around seven-thirty or so, parents will come and drop off their kids for school. In the late afternoon, the parents will come and pick up their kids and this is where it gets to be unsafe.
Both Junior and Senior Beta Clubs are responsible for various service projects throughout the year in the school and community. In addition to this, the clubs also assist in the running of events held by other groups, teams, and clubs in the school. This year, the Junior Beta club and the Senior Beta Club joined together to assist the school in the collection of Boxtops For Education. In the Senior Beta club, there were some changes in officers throughout the year due to the original officers' absence. The president, Libby Beauchamp, and the vice president, Ashley Spedden, both left the school early in the year. Treasurer Katie Spinler replaced Libby as president, and club member Brooke Batchelor replaced Katie as treasurer. The Junior Beta
For most us Americans, knowing when we’re going to eat next is something we very rarely think of, and when we do think about being hungry we still know where our food is coming from. Three big meals a day, and a few snacks in between, is how most of us live. It’s hard for us to imagine what its like for those who go days eating very little or nothing at all. But unfortunately that’s how it is for most of the world and surprisingly it happens in the United Sates as well. There are many reasons malnutrition can happen, and it happens to every age group. Even though there are many ways to treat it, in the
