My Favourite, Most challenging and I would do again.

My favourite was swimming! I liked swimming because swimming is my favourite sport. I enjoyed swimming because I got to have a splash about, practice my strokes and play lots of games! After all that it was time to go.

Most challenging was the stream walk. The only reason why I didn’t enjoy the stream walk as much as the others is because we had to go through and under little holes. I sorta liked it because it was fun, adventures and wet ( i like being wet ) The stream walk is basically a adventurist walk through a river, goingthrough some little gaps and telling stories. The skills I have used: Creativity

This is a picture of me on the low ropes!

The one I would do again is raft building. I enjoyed raft building the most  because we got to make our own rafts and take them into the lake and sail them! How we made them was 8 ropes, 6 long logs and 4 barrels. It was so fun because we got to lay some games on them and jump in at the end! My raft sadly broke again, one this year and one last year. Skills I have used: Teamwork, communication, thinking skills and creativity.

I would 100% like to go again. Goodbyee.

My favourite activity was mountain biking, I already loved mountain biking but the trails were 100% better then what I anticipated! We started with some brake tests in a box and some track standing races.Then we went to the skills park. when we got there we done a blue mini trail, this involved some rollers and berms. After we completed the task we moved on to a bigger mini blue trail, then at the end we got to do a massive blue trail! We only got to do mountain biking because there was a free spot, and they wanted to get pictures of people riding there brand new bikes.

My most challenging activity was the stream walk because it was absolutely freezing. At the start it was pretty shallow, maybe about knee height. All we had to do there was to go under some obstacles or through them like we had to go through a tyre. Then as we went further in the river it got a hole lot deeper and colder. Finally just before we were about to go, me, Owen and Thomas all put are heads under the water. It gave you really bad brain freeze.

I would like to try low ropes again in another place. It’s an obstacle course were you have to balance and clime on ropes or wood. My favourite obstacle was called the bog log, it was a log going throw a bog that you had to walk across. Low ropes was challenging and fun at the same time and that’s why want to try it again!

Hello Harry here and we went on a residential recently at Rock Uk.

My favourite activity was kayaking. This involved keeping the kayak balanced and using the paddle right by stroking the water at the correct side to stay straight. I developed my kayaking skills when getting a lot of speed while playing games and going down a slide on the kayak required some bravery but it was very fun. This made me happy because I liked that we could play around.

The most challenging activity was rock climbing. This included different holds and grips we got clipped into a harness with our friends and an instructor hold our safety rope so if we slip or if we go down they can give it some hard pulls so we can safely lower our self by sort of abseiling down. I improved my rock climbing skills by including hard holds in my routes. I felt proud because each run I got further than the last.

The activity I’d do again is mountain biking. It involved balance and speed control while going round berms and rollers. We tried a blue taster trail and there was 1 tabletop, a few berms and a couple rollers. There was a red trail which was more technical it had some drops it looked fun but we weren’t allowed to do it sadly.  I used patience skills while waiting for my turn and correct technique for properly pumping the rollers and riding berms. I was happy because I enjoying doing mountain biking on my own bike as well. 

 

Bye

Hello it’s Owen we just had our RESIDENTIAL!

My favourite activity was mountain biking. It involved balance to keep the bike up. It’s a type of cycling where you go down trails and jumps. My bike was a Cube hard-tail with Rock Shox Judy fork. First we did a blue taster trail and it had one table top, which is a type of jump like a gap jump but no gap, that was vert fun. There was a few drops but we couldn’t do them since our instructor was not qualified to let us to them.

When I went on residential my favourite activity was zip line you go over water,trees and bushes! Once I got to the top I was quite scared. Surprisingly once you go down its not really that scary.

The most challenging was probably abseiling I didn’t do the abseiling but I done the small tower to practice. So basically abseiling is were you lower yourself down a tall dower with a rope. Of coarse you have a harness on and when your at the top you get clipped in and sit in your harness and straighten your leg  that’s  the bit I found tricky because your over 6 meters off the ground!

The activity I would do again is probably swimming. Swimming was good but I didn’t get to do much because there was a lot of people in the pool I still got to swim! Swimming basically counts as a free play it was so fun there was  a deep end and a shallow end.

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 Friday when I went home I was exited because my strawberry plant was growing . It had formed a little green strawberry. I was so happy .

On Saturday I did a water balloon fight with my friends and my neighbour. we hid in my neighbour car so we did not get socked unlike everyone else .It was amazing!

On Sunday I went shopping with my family . I bought a figet cube and some putty. the putty was green and it was colour changing. It was really rubbery and not good and it was a waste of my money.

Well I have  to go now . BYEE

On Saturday I woke up to the sound of kids playing. I couldn’t believe how they had the energy. I couldn’t even get out of bed. So I just chilled on my tablet. On Sunday it was an amazing day. I woke up happily. Then me and Asil went outside to hang the clothes up to dry. After that we did some skipping. Out of nowhere our neighbours were having a water balloon fight. So we hid in the car so we wouldn’t get wet.

On Monday, P6′ s went to North West High school!

When we arrived we went straight to the office to get set a specific place. Then one of the teachers Mr Cook came and told us to come and sit in the hall! After that we got put into 4 groups, G1, G2, G3 and G4. Me Carlay and Daniel were in G3

First activity:

My first activity was in the library. What we done was make book marks and give them a re-view on a book. I done the book mark first. I made it look like a rat! Then i went to go give a random book a re-view on the cover. I chose the hunger games.

Next Activity.

The second activity was art. In art we done a poster all about me, what we put on the poster was what your favourite things were! The teacher put some music on to chill because the whole idea was to draw and chill

Then it was time for brake

third activity.

The third activity was science. In science we learnt about electricity and what things that power electricity through it. It turns out that only copper, metal and stuff like that only work.

Forth activity

For the forth activity we done history! What we done was the teacher gave us a quiz sheet to research and the we right down on the quiz answer sheet. The teacher put up the answer with a letter to put down. The letters would end up to a full word . Then we had to make a power point on it.

5th activity

The 5th activity was P.E with Mr Cook. We got split into teams with a bench. When Mr Cook blows the whistle then the game starts then they starts throwing the balls. If you get taged then you have to go on the opposite side till some one trows a ball at you.

Then it was time for lunch

Finally it was time for the whole school game. The whole school game was capture the flag. We got split up into 2 teams, blue team and neon green team. we got 2 flags each and the other team will try and capture the flag and then run to the teacher. it was 26 degrees out side and we had to play in that heat! after that it was time to go home. I took Daniel home and Carlay’s mum took her to her dad’s house! We got to leave at 2:40. Super early!

That’s all from me!

Good byeee
