Dear John
Hello John, my name is Lucy. I am from Yaldhurst School and I was in your group for stacking tyres. I would like to thank you for an awesome camp my first one . I thought you were helpful and funny.
Things I enjoyed about the camp was Hanmer Spring Hot Pools both days my favourite bring Hydro-Slides and the lazy river.
I also really liked the food we had it was really tasty from Rusty Carrot Catering.
I really liked how you made people laugh, and I thought you were really smart.
John I'd love to ask you some questions :)
My camp this year was extremely exciting. I really enjoyed spending time with my friends, playing games, eating tasty food, and hanging out in the cabins. The thing I most enjoyed was not doing any homework. I would really like to thank you for such an amazing camp. I really like what you did for the school.
Yours Sincerely
Lucy Ebdon
