Field Trip

Last week the class of 2029 went on a field trip to the Museum of Natural Science. It was a super fun but educational trip at the same time. On Friday January 27th I got ready for school and hopped in the car. When I got to school my grade went to advisory then went to Mr Lovett’s room to have an assembly about the rules for the field trip. After that we got on the bus and took the 45 ish minute drive to the Museum. When we got there we gave our advisors our lunch and that’s when the fun began.

 We got put into groups by advisory. My advisory was put with the Lovett advisory. The first thing we did was we went to see the RACE exhibit and filled out a reflection form. I thought the RACE exhibit was cool because it was very colorful. After we went to the race exhibit we went to the living conservatory but it was closed so we weren’t able to go in it. We explored all over the museum but my favorite part was the bridge across time.

Overall, this trip was a great experience and an amazing way to spend Friday. I enjoyed this trip because I have never been to that museum before so it was nice to see something new.

 

Camp Hanes

Last Thursday the class of 2029 went to Camp Hanes. It was so much fun. On Thursday morning I woke up, grabbed my luggage and went to school. Around eight I loaded my bags on the bus and got on. The bus ride was around 2 hours. This trip was extra exciting because it was my first trip from Covid. I sat next to my friend Kendall and we ate chips. At first the bus ride felt like it was going by fast, but as we got closer and closer to camp the bus ride was becoming more and more slow. When we finally got there I grabbed my bags from the bus and lugged it to the gym. Then I went to a conference room and found out our cabin assignments. After finding out our cabin assignments I then grabbed our stuff and pulled it up a hill and into our cabin. When I got to the cabin I unpacked my bags and found my activity group. I was in group five and my group was hiking. 

Before the activities started we had lunch. My activity group did hiking first then we did archery then we did rock climbing. Hiking was my favorite activity because it was so much fun to use the ropes to get up the steep hills. Although. sometimes the hike was hard. The view was so worth it when we got to the top.

This trip was so amazing and i’m so grateful Durham Academy gave us the opportunity to go. Even though some of it was ruined because of the hurricane I still had a blast. This trip was an amazing bonding experience and I’m so glad I went.
