How do you pack a hiking backpack so that it is lighter?

I'm going on the eighth grade field trip, to Da Lat.
We're camping for three nights in the woods, and I have to bring a backpack. Tents and stoves and things that heavy will be provided.
I'm taking my clothes, my sleeping bag, my water bottle, and my mom wants me to take an extra blanket, because it's really cold and my sleeping bag is thin.
We have to hike eight kilometers through the woods to reach our campsite, and I'm really nervous.
I'm not very athletic, and I can endure too much physical strain.
Is there a way to pack my bag so that it feels lighter?
 
I am also going on an eighth grade trip, mt cardigan, we also have to pack bags, what i would do is look through your stuff, and take out the things your really not gonna need, dont bring the stuff you really don't need. Say you have 2 big winter coats, take one out you dont need them both, and same with everything else. And i was scared about the walk also, but we are only as fast as our slowest person. Dont worry you will be ok up there try your best, pack only what you NEED to pack. Thats what i will be doing also. Have a great time, and good luck.
