On Friday 20 February, Cannons Creek Independent Primary School hosted its annual Camp Out event. This much-anticipated calendar highlight saw families exchanging their warm beds at home, for a unique camping experience – on the school field, surrounded by school friends and families. Amidst the braaiing, glow sticks, and playing around; families enjoyed the time to chat and socialise. This year, due to the heat – families enjoyed the ‘mist machine’.
Some comments:
- Isla Rockhill (Grade 6) – “I liked playing with my friends, especially in the dark. I liked the glow sticks and the music that was playing.”
- Bailey Swarts (Grade 5) – “I liked Camp Out a lot ‘cos all my friends were there. It was really fun having everyone sleep over.”
- Emma Hofmyr (Grade 5) – “I liked the music ‘cos I like to be able to dance. I liked being able to run around in the dark. I liked being able to stay up later than normal with my friends.”
- Elizabeth Naude (Grade 1) – “It was fun and I had a sleeping bag. It was funny ‘cos my daddy didn’t have a blanket, so he got cold.”
- Emma De Jongh (Grade 1) – “I got to play with my friends, and we got to play games.”
