Adventure Camp!!

Yahoo!! On the 15th of September 2013, was the year 7/8 camp. The students of Glenbrae went on an adventure to Great Barrier Island. Every student that had permission to go, they woke up at 5 o'clock and we meet at school with our teachers; Mrs Silva, Mrs Raj, Miss Elia and Miss Maruariki came as well on the trip. Then we travelled by bus to the wharf, then we travelled by a ferry boat to Great Barrier Island, and then we went by bus, again, to the campsite. I was so horrified when we went on the ferry boat and we also saw some dolphin. Once we got to the campsite we got meet our instructors; Jamie, Latesha, Fryer and Kristy. Next Jamie explain where the toilets, cabin and the where all the other thing are. Later then he asked us question about Great Barrier Island. What the different's between Auckland and Great Barrier Island? search and found out and see what it is.
