On Monday Becca and Jonathon headed off to Grade 6 camp, where they spent a couple of days doing teamwork activities. They were in the same group, which was named the Hectic Hikers. "We would be woken at 7, have breakfast at 8, and then do a few activities. After that was lunch and then tuck shop (snack store), followed by activities. At 4:30 we would swim for half an hour or so, then we would have a little bit of free time before dinner, evening activities, and bed," says Becca.
Also on Monday, I got to learn to tie a tie for the formal awards assembly being held that morning. It took a while, a while in which the tie was winning 9 to 1, but I tied it properly. A fact which I'm glad for because presenting yourself to the headmaster to receive an Academic Commendation without proper uniformis a guaranteed detention. :P
Friday evening I had my first field trip with the school (there weren't any for me last term) and went to see the protest comedy Woza Albert. It's a play that was originally written and performed during Apartheid, protesting white power. In the comedy, Jesus (Morena, in Zulu) is coming to South Africa during Apartheid and protesting along with the blacks for their rights.
