Good morning P1b!
Great to see you’re back at our class blog again for some more fun-filled activities!
The title of our blog today is ‘thrill-seeking Thursday’. I wonder if you have heard this phrase before – to be a “thrill-seeker”?
A thrill-seeker is a person who is keen to take part in exciting activities that involve physical risk and adventure.
Examples of thrill-seekers are;
- a person swimming with great white sharks in the Pacific coast
- slack lining where you are balancing on tight ropes suspended between two trees (you could potentially set something like this up in your back gardens or a local park) with help from an adult!
- going on rollercoaster rides like the one below at a theme park!
As you can see, kids can be thrill-seekers too!
Task: Watch this video clip about a young skier and see if you can work out if the statements below are True or False.
