Suntrap Stories

News,

As you may or may not know, year 6 recently went to camp at Suntrap!

It was fun and literally none of us got enough sleep..

Anyway..

While I was in my tent, (not) sleeping quietly, I hear a friend of mine (we’ll call them pombear) from another tent shouting. So I said to my best friend (we’ll call them Jammy Dodger) who was in the same tent as me –

“Who’s going to the toilet?”

But before she could reply, we heard Pombear shout “WHERE’S THE TOILET ROLL?!”

The third person in my tent (my friend we’ll call Lavi) quickly pulled her wellies on and rushed outside to ‘assist’ Pombear.

Next minute, we hear “POMBEAR, THEY’RE ON THE TOP LEFT!”

Then Pombear replies with a quiet “Ok,”

Me and Jammy Dodger are in our tent laughing as loud as we possibly can, basically.

  • Know what a bail is. Otherwise don’t play at all.
In the sport of cricket, a bail is one of the two smaller sticks placed on top of the three stumps to form a wicket. The bails are used to determine when the wicket is broken, which in turn is one of the critical factors in determining whether a batsman is out bowled, stumped, run out or hit wicket.

DON’TS:

  • Don’t hit the bail (not  Gareth Bale!) or else.
  • Don’t turn up to a match  wearing a multi-colored track suit, a clown suit or your PJ’s(trust me don’t it’s very stupid!)
  • Don’t forget to bring your safety equipment (nobody likes to spend a weekend in hospital !)
  • Don’t eat beans before a cricket match (otherwise its not going to be very nice for the wicket keeper)IMG_0918
