YEAR 6 CAMP : CAMP COURAGE , TAUPO
ON COLD AUTUMN DAYS...
My feet remember the painful blisters from my shoes,
My legs remember the cold icy water of Lake Taupo,
My body remembers the burn on my sides from the slip ‘n’ slide,
My arms remember the large kayak paddles stroking the water.
My hands remember the hot floating tyres for raft-building,
My face remembers the hot steamy splash of AC Baths waterslides,
My mind remembers next camp is soon.

ON COLD WINTER SCHOOL DAYS
My feet remember slipping and sliding in my sweaty shoes,
My legs remember hopping into bed and relaxing,
My body remembers sliding down the slip 'n' slide,
My arms remember paddling on the kayaks, My hands remember holding Kiri up at the Talent Show,
My face remembers splashes from the rafting, My mind remembers Camp Courage 2019. Addison McLeod (6DB)

CAMP!
My feet remember the warmth of my sleeping bag and the fresh green grass.
My legs remember the freezing cold water while kayaking.
My body remembers the splashes of the hydroslide, making me feel relaxed.
My arms remember gripping onto the scary lullaby.
My hands remember the paddles moving to go around when kayaking.
My nose remembers the smell of the butter chicken, making me hungry.
My mind remembers the challenges of the Amazing Race.

REMEMBERING CAMP
My feet remember stinging from all the cuts from the rocky, stony lake beach,
My legs remembers stumbling on the Burma Trail
My hands remember gripping tight to the paddle,
My body remembers doing the 45 push-ups in the Amazing Race,
My nose remembers the big smell of the BBQ chickens getting cooked.
My mind remembers all that was in my head, I couldn’t wait to sleep,
My face remembers compressing down into my pillow to fall asleep.
