Em's Bob's Bush Camp recount

hey its em writing. on thursday 25th feb. 2019, room 7 went to the Arataki: Bob's Bush Camp. it was so awesome. we had to dress up as 1883 bushmen and when we go there we did activities like using the 'matilda' to winch up the boogie, which held the logs, pit sawing, where one person stood above on the platform and someone else stood below in a pit and they sawed, which made a log into long planks, we also did two-man sawing with Tom (real name: Dennis), griddle scone making and cooking them with butter in a pan over a fire with Mrs. Hawthorn the cook (Sarah), (the other group had already made 3 fires for our and the other group) which we ate with homemade plum or strawberry jam and butter . we also did bivouac building with Miss Mable (Joan). first we made little 'tepees' with 3 smallish sticks, well, not sticks but log sticks and tied them with rope. she also taught us reef knots which i knew. we then made bigger versions with a canvas on top. our one was obviously the best! nah, but ours was pretty good, one of the top 1.
Well that is a short recount of our 2010 bush camp.
