The fear of the flying fox

WALT: write a descritve recount about senior camp.

 Our task was to write about our favorite activety and my one is all about the flyingfox.

The flying fox 

 most of the seniors went to camp and we splitted up to year 5, 6 and 7’s group, to everyone from room six. My group went to the flying fox when the people from room six started another activity. 

When the people in my group got to the flying fox we got taught how to put on a harness. Then we got told that there was not gonna be enough for all of us so when we got to the end you had to put the buckle behind your back so when you are running the buckle won’t hit your face. But when you have done all of that you sprint back so people get a turn. So then I grabbed a harness. 

 And I was putting my harness on with Felix and Sanele. I went to the line and I was waiting in fear because I am afraid of heights. Then it was my turn. Mr Barnes helped me put on my helmet. and then I started to climb up to the top. When I was up at the top I saw Lachlan go with no fear and I had lots of faith. 

 Then it was my turn, the lady got me ready, I took two steps forward. I was really high up and that was when I had no faith in myself. Then after about twelve seconds I ran and jumped down and when I jumped that was when I conquered my fear of the flying fox. 

 At the end I saw Mr Norman and I think Mr Chapple. When I was going to stop Mr Norman said “run up the platform”. So then I did what he said and when I did it he said that I was the first person to follow his instruction. And I felt proud of myself. 

 But I had lots of fun at camp with the flying fox not just because I followed instructions because I had a have a go attitude.
