When we got there, we got our cabins and I was in a cabin with Miller Owen, Brody, and Daniel I shard a room with Lewis we put all of our bags in our rooms and went to the dinner hall and had lunch. After that we went down to the lake for our first activate it was raft building we had 8 loge and rope and 4 barrels to make it float then we put it all together and we made a raft we got to jump on it. After raft building we did canoeing I was partners with Daniel we dot to chase a ball in the water then we tipped it over then Azari and millers tipped then Brody and Owens  then we flipped  sum back over but it was full of water. It was fun. We had to swim to the platform.

Residential

On Wednesday we went to rock UK for a 3 day visit. We did fun and exciting activities including   kayaking and zip line

When we did kayaking I loved it so I learned how to use the paddle and I got good. The first game we played was world domination were we have to pick a country and hit the back of the other people kayaks 3 times but if we got hit  you joined that country’s team get everybody to win. The second game was bull dog which was very fun. The way you play it is you pick one person to the bull dog and everybody else has to get by them to the other

The zip line was on top of a hill it was like on a platform with a thick metal rope that you attach your harness to and you just jump. You go flying through the loch trees and grass. Then people pull a rope what slows you down and you get unclipped and you go back up and do it again. You can go partners or by you self .

                     Residential

On Wednesday we went to Rock UK or a residential. When we were there did activities including kayaking and canoeing.

Canoeing

First we put on a helmet and a live vest for safety. After we had done that we got in to partners and fond a canoe to sit in. Once we got in to our canoes they pushed us in to the water. AND WE LANCHED IN TO THE WATER! We had a little paddle around for a while and wend around an island. Alothgh some mud feel out a tree and landed on my head! After we got round the island we played a game in the canoes called fruit salad. In fruit salad you get given a fruit. If the instructor calls your fruit you stand up and shout whatever fruit you are. And they might say your fruit squash that means you have to stand up and shout what you are and then do a big jump! Since we had extra time, we played a game called consequences canoe. To play this we all held on each other’s canoes. The instructors ask everyone the same question like do you have a cat? If they do they go into the consequences canoe. If you are in the consequences canoe and the next question does not apply to people in the canoe they have to leave.

Kayaking

Once we got to the shed, we put a live vest and a helmet. After we put them on we got into a line from shortest to tallest to see what size of kayak you need. I got a small green one. After that we sat in them there was two little black footrest that we had to adjust to fit us. Once we had done that we slowly shuffled towards the water off the dock. SPLASH the front of my kayak went right into the water and popped back up! In the water we played bulldog. In bulldog the person who is IT needs to tap the back of the other peoples kayak to IT them. If you get IT you join the bulldog!
