Tents Up

Setting up at lake ferry.

By Aaron and Thomas

“Finally! We’re here, it took long enough! The sheep on the road were so slow! I’ve seen snails go faster than them! Sheesh!”

When room 20 settled in to Lake Ferry we had to put up those terrifying tents, one of the horrible things was the lack of hammers and also we had to use the irritating plastic pegs instead of metal ones. We even had to use hard concrete like rocks to hammer the pegs in! It was like trying to hammer a house into the ground. The year sevens boys had to pair up with the year eight girls and the year seven girls were with the year eight boys. Mr Eames was saying that these would be our tent buddies, and everyone groaned. But as it turned out he meant that was our tent pitching group! Some tents had minor issues like the odd broken pole and the snapped hammer but even in the cold frosty weather room 20 was able to work as a fantastic team and cope with the problems. As the minutes wore on it felt like we were going to be here for all of eternity.
