At the end of the September, the OVS seventh graders went to Santa Cruz. We spent five days there. My group did many different activities like snorkeling, water coloring and hiking. Most of the time it was rainy and windy, but it was an amazing trip to Santa Cruz!
On the first day, we worked really hard to carry stuff from the science room to the car, from the car to the ground, and from the ground to the boat. On the boat we had some fun, but when we stepped on the ground, we had to carry it all over again to our camp. I got really tired. My back hurt for the next two-and-a-half days! When the teachers began to read a book called “The Island of Blue Dolphins
In the morning, we went to the beach for our activities. I enjoyed water coloring on sunny, windy day. After lunch we went on a little hike. When it was time to go back, I decided to go with the extreme team. It was so fun! Mr. Inman said that I walked in the front of everyone, like a leader. The next day, after breakfast, we went up on the hill while it rained. I remember how some kids fell into the mud just for fun. Vaughn was the dirtiest one after all. If it weren’t for a dinner, I would have slept all day long!
On Thursday, my group had to go snorkeling. I thought it was going to be fun, but I did not know that there was a seaweed forest! I’m scared of it and I think it’s yucky! I left the water as soon I touched it. That was NOT FUN! The next day like the first day, we carried lots of boxes, pots, backpacks, daypacks, etc., but we were more exited! We really wanted to go shower, lie on the soft bed and listen to nice music.
The teachers said that it was the first time it had rained in Santa Cruz
We are the champions my friends,
And we keeping fighting to the end…
