My favourite activity was Mountain Biking. We started off by doing a braking test so every body could brake properly and then we did a slow race. After that we did some small trails that had berms and rollers. Then we tried a medium trail. After that we did a real trail it had loads of berms rollers and a tabletop. I used my Patience skills when waiting to go down the trail. At the end we cycled back to get ready do our next activity.
The most challenging activity was stream walk. On the stream walk we had to go under logs that where very close to the water. Some parts where very deep and you could stand in and go under water. There was also a lot of tunnels and pipes you could squeeze through. One of the pipes sent you flying out the other side. It was freezing. In this I used my teamwork skills to encourage people to go through the tunnels and under the sticks.
The activity I would do again would be the zipline. It was a long steel rope that you clip into and ride all the way down. I would do it again because it feels like your zooming through the air. It was three hundred metres long and and you can go up to thirty miles per hour. Sadly we only got two shots. I used my adapting skills because my partner wasn’t there in time.

On the weekend me and my dad went over to my uncles house to watch Spurs Vs Everton. First we went to Tesco to buy some crisps dip and some beer. When we got there I turned notifications on for the West Ham game so I could see who would get relegated. The game started and Spurs were dominating. Just before half time Spurs scored making it 1 nil. They managed to hold on till the end of the match so they didn’t get relegated.
Last week we had a transition day at Wallace hall. first we got split into groups. Then we went to our first classes. My groups first class was science. In science I had 200,000 volts going through me. I put my hand on this metal ball and my hair started to spike up. Then I fist bumped someone and it zapped me. Then we had some tuning keys. When I hit it off the table It made a ding sound and then I put it up to my ear and it sounded really weird. After that my group had English with Mr Pape. We wrote about a place we would like to visit. I wrote about the jungle. Then it was breaktime. At break we played 1 bounce with the older ones. Next I had design and technology. In design and technology we made pencil holders out of blocks of wood. First I drilled holes into the wood. they were for the pencils. Then I decorated it with sharpies. I drew the Spurs logo on the side. And then I wrote come on you Spurs on the side. After that we maths. In maths we played the dot game. The dot game is a grid that has numbers along the x and y axis. What ever number it is is how many dots you need along that row. I thought it would be easy but it is actually Quite hard because some rows cross each other. So you have to arrange them in the perfect order. Then it was lunch I had barbecue and cheese pasta. At lunch we played football in the Muga. We played P7s take on. So we were playing against all the s1s and 2s and 3s all the way to s6.
This morning everybody came to school on their bikes because It was bike breakfast! first we got our bikes checked to make shore our bikes were safe. Then we set off. I stayed a bit behind the first group so i didn’t have to go slow. i did two laps and when i got back i had a sausage and haggis roll. Then i played on my bike in the football pitch.
On the weekend i had a football game. We were playing against calderglen thistle. The game started Blair played it out from the back to Freddie who played me through. I slotted it round the keeper. A few minutes later their keeper missed the ball so i had an empty goal. We scored three more in that half. At half time it was 5 nil so we made some subs. In the second half they started strong but we kept on the press and scored another six. I got a hattrick and so did Freddie M. In the end we won 11 nil. After the game me Freddie , jack Blair , Gallie , Archie , charlie , Henry and Daniel. First we went to the fair. We went on the twister and the waltzers. After that we went to Pepis to get lunch. I got the tender strips. Then we went home.
on the weekend me my dad and Owen went to Mabie skills park on our bikes. First we cycled to the skills park from the car park. Then we hit the small jump line a few times. After that we did the medium trail. It was very short.
On Sunday I went to glen tress on my fantastic green bike. First me and my dad went to Greggs. I got a link and Omelette roll, It was amazing! Then we drove all the way to glen tress.
When we got there, I saw marks, very blue and bouncy, nuke proof mega. I got my bike, which is a specialized, out of the car.
First mark took some air out of my tires. Then he showed us the taster trails. We warmed up on the blue, but it was too easy. So we did the red. The first time I did it I fell on one of the berms. The second time I made it the whole way down. We kept doing the red route until we found skills park, I worked on my drops and my jumps.
Then we went to the café to get some food I got, a very scrumptious brownie. We headed to the central trail head to start our climb up to Twitcher. On the climb we saw a few groups of riders heading up to the black route. Once we made it we dropped our bikes and mark showed us the bits where we would need to slow down. While mark was showing us his dog sol kept piling sticks on my bike.
Next we dropped in it was insane there was massive jumps and berms everywhere! Would you do it? After we got to the bottom, we did another small climb to get to smells like tweed spirit. It was even better! The trail was basically the same, but it was a lot less bumpy. Then We went back to the café to get some drippy cheesy chips and a can of Vimto. Once we got home I had a raspberry swirl mini roll and a Lindt chocolate.
Last week a kind man called James came into our school. He taught us about social enterprise. First he showed us business and then charities. He showed us that if you do a charity fundraiser you cant keep any the money.
Then we got into groups and came up with some ideas for a social enterprise. My group chose to do save the frogs. We would sell frog themed items that looked like the endangered species such as Amazon River Frogs and Trinidadian Stream Frogs. My groups items we are going to be selling are custom thirsts and small accessories like Croc charms and key-chains.
The money we make will be donated to Edinburgh Zoo endangered frog enclosure but some will be put back into the organisation. All of our products will be Eco friendly and made of recycled plastic and old clothes. Thats it for today so go and save them frogs.
This week in computer science we made maze games. My maze game is football themed. We used power-point to make them. We used actions and shapes to make it so that if your mouse went over the walls you lose. The aim is to make it to the finish and not get caught. My level three is not finished yet. To play you just press the start button. press here to play Football maze.
