On Wednesday the 21st of May we went on a residential to Rock UK in Newcastle ton. During our visit we enjoyed many thrilling activities we did 7 activities that needed to be instructed they were abseiling, open canoeing, raft building, kayaking, zip line, climbing, stream adventure and swimming pool and 2 that didn’t need an instructor they were low ropes and scavenger hunt.
The journey there was long because we had to pick up Duncow pupils who were coming with us. Once we arrived in Rock UK we put our stuff in our cabins, had lunch and got started on our activities.
The first activity we did was raft building, we split into two groups of 7 and started building, to build a raft we needed 6 logs and 4 barrels and we had to put four of the logs vertically and the other two on top horizontally then we tied the logs together with about a size seven shoe length in between the bottom ones on the outside. On our rafts we played some teamwork games.
After we did raft building we did open canoeing, for open canoeing we needed a partner and I was partners with McKenna. During open canoeing we did some games, some of the games we played were fruit salad, consequences, and a game where you have to see who can tip the front of their canoe the highest. When me and McKenna did the last challenge we flipped over! After we got out of our canoes we got to jump in the end of the lake, It was very cold!
Once we had finished canoeing we went back to our cabins and got into some dry clothes for dinner, scavenger hunt and low ropes. For dinner we had lasagne and it was really yummy!!
