漂鳥營 Fun things and What I have learned
Fun things:
July 10th, 2009
1. At the first day, we first went to the bottom of the bridge to make a stone kiln. First, we picked many pieces of wood from the beach. Then we get some stones from the bottom of the bridge to make the kiln. We first put bigger stones on the ground, and then we put smaller and smaller stones on top of the big stones. Before that, we put a long stone on top of two big stones to make a door. When the kiln is done, we put the pieces of wood and some old newspapers, and then lit the fire. We waited about 20 minutes and we put our yam and eggs in. During that time, some other team was trying to throw some stones to hit the bamboo stick on the other side. So we tried it too, but we failed. At last, only two competitors get a drink for a prize. Finally, the yams and eggs are cooked so we eat it. Our team only ate the yams because the eggs are over-cooked.
2. At the evening a man let us see a slide. Inside there are 80 pictures, mostly about birds, but some are locations too. At this one hour slide, we studied about many kinds of birds and some of the locations too.

1. This morning, we went to a field to play some games. We walked and heard the teacher say lots and lots of plants, and we saw lots and lots of birds with the teacher’s microscope. When we got to the field, we played a lot of games about running and a game that we dodge obstacles blind-folded. It is very fun!
2. At the afternoon, we go to a place to walk on a piece of steel wire. I was the 10th one to challenge it. At first, I climb a tall tree. It was very dangerous, and it was scary. Then I go on by the first part of the steel wire walking. At this first part, there were another two steel wires to hold the hands, so I passed the first part quickly. At the second part, there are only a few strings of rope, so it was very scary because of only a rope to hold on. But I fell only once, and passed the second part quickly.
3. At the night, we made some handmade soap. First we pour melted soap in the container. Then we put some tea tree branches and dry roses in the container. We put them for one night. (continued in next day)

1. When we woke up today, we quickly dressed up and brushed our teeth. We went down to see our handmade soap. After everybody came down, we put our soap out of the container. It is very beautiful.
2. We went to the field again at the morning. We played a tower defense, and we played another game called Frog King. At Frog King, we need to hop and avoid the other people hitting us when jumping. We didn’t win before because they are too strong. At the tower defense we were been separated into two teams, and try to avoid been hit by the enemy team. In three matches, we won two matches and won. We first get the drinks and they used a large truck to take us back. Then we went to a place behind the hotel to play another game. When we went up the hill, we saw an 8-foot long see-saw! At my turn, I swing down the hill, and it was scary because of too high. After we all tried, we went down to eat lunch.
What I Have Learned:
At these three days, I have studied about plants and birds, and I know how to look at stars. I made a lot of things and I know, it takes effort to do it. And it was very fun at this camp, that I wish I can join it again in the next year.
