Rock UK Residential (Information Report)
On Wednesday Holywood primary and Duncow primary school went on a P5-7 residential visit at Rock UK for 3 days and 2 nights. We done lots of activities while we weir on our visit. Activities including Raft building, Stream walk, kayaking, open canoeing, Zip line, Abseiling and much more to be said.
Wednesday was the day that we arrived at Rock UK we travelled in a couch bus with Duncow primary school. Once we arrived at Rock UK, we had an instructor tell us what Rock UK is about and the rolls to Rock UK. Then we got into our cabins and chose what bed we are going to stay in droning our visit. As soon as we had our lunch, put our bags in our cabin, got put into our activity groups, and got ready for the first activity we then headed to our first activity.
Raft building was my group’s first activity. It was awesome! We had 7 in a group for raft building and I had Mena, Nancy, Anneliese, Grace, McKenna and Becky in my group. We built our raft using 6 logs and 4 barrels while we were building our raft, we used excellent team work! After we had built it we done lots of challenges with our raft. It was extraordinary!
Next we had open canoeing, my partner was Anneliese we had a blast. We had to wear a bouncy aid, helmet and water shoes. We wear really well at steering the boat in different directions because we listen well to each other. After a short time of games we then done a challenge, the challenge was to sit at the edge of the boat and see how far we could lift our boat. I fell in! I was in the water while Anneliese was dry sitting in the boat. I couldn’t stop laughing!
Then it was time for dinner we had lasagne. It was delicious! I had 2 big porches I said a huge thank you to the cook. After we had pudding and pudding was vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce. It was yummy!
Eventually it came to our last activity of the day and it was a big scavenger hunt witch was hard and low ropes witch is basically a big obstacle cores. I enjoyed it! My groups name for the scavenger hunt was the collie dogs we worked well as a team. In the low ropes you have to wear a helmet but it was good because we didn’t need an instructor.
Last of all it was supper we were all in our pj’s and went down to the kitchen to have a hot chocolate and a biscuit. It was nice! Also we counted up all our points from the scavenger hunt. We done well!
Then it came to bed time some of us did not get that much sleep and some got lots but we all did get at least some sleep. That’s the end of Wednesday good bye.
