Last week Durham Academy 6th grade went to the Museum of Natural Science. After a 30 minute bus ride I was eager to go inside with my group. My group was made up of Harris advisory, Lovett advisory, Jake, and Stella. Our group started on the fourth floor where we saw the Race exhibit (race based off skin color, not running) we also saw the arthropod zoo. On the third floor we saw the dinosaur exhibit, we then walked across the sky walk to the other building. In the other building we saw a 3d printing lab, meteorites, and genetically modified fish. We then headed back outside for a quick lunch break. After we ate we went on to explore the second floor which had a model of a forest and all of the animals that live there for example: deers, owl, fish etc. lastly we explored the bones and models of animals on the first floor as well as the the statue of George Washington and others outside of the museum. In conclusion, it was a very fun day.

Camp Hanes

 

In September, the 6th graders at Durham Academy had the chance to go to Camp Hanes. We then got off the bus and headed to the gym/Baker center to play games, while the teachers were informed on who was in which cabin. After we left the Baker Center we grabbed our luggage and got situated in our cabins, and we then learned who was in out activity groups.

Later that day we then split up into groups. My group went hiking first, which was my favorite activity of the trip. We then went to the airnasium while we waited to go to our next activity which was rock climbing was fun because there were different kinds of rock climbing I have never seen before. We then headed back to the airnasium before I did archery, which was another really cool experience.

The next day we woke up to rain, and we then walked to the dining hall to eat breakfast. After that we then headed to the Baker Center for team bonding games while we waited to leave. One thing I wish I had done was canoeing. I heard that activity was the most fun. Although we had to leave early because of Hurricane Ian, Camp Hanes was extremely fun.
