Today is the first day at Barcaple and we got into coloured groups, orange, yellow, red and blue. We also got our room mates. The orange group did tree climbing first and we each got two shots. Kiera and Ethan both got to the top. “The scariest part was when I thought I was going to fall but I had so much fun.” Kiera said.
After we did tree climbing we did a ropes course it was sooooo much fun. We had to get past obstacles and at the end there was a slide that we went on twice. “It was terrific!” Said Summer.
Today at Barcaple, the blue groups first activity was the zip wiring, and it was absolutely amazing. Whilst I was having a turn, I was posing upside down and posing too. After the children had their turns, Mrs McKensie had one as well.
As well as zip wiring, we also did the blind trail, and everyone looked histericle with their blind folds on. There was also a moment when I was absolutely terrified, because we had to go in a very tight tube, and I didn’t like that because I am claustrophobic.
Today at Barcaple the yellow group first did Orienteering. It was really exciting! The girl’s won twice and worked well as a team and so did I the boy’s but the girl’s beat them.
Also the yellow team did crate climbing. It was soooo scary because the crates kept on wobbling but luckily we were on harnesses. Carly and Lucy went 4 crates high, Rebbeca and I went 5 crates high, Murray and Ara went 6 crates high and Cameron and Eliot did a whopping 7 crates. It was amazing! -Joanna
Today, the red group hopped into a minibus and drove to the forest adventure site! Our staff member told us about trees and taught us a game called ‘The floor is lava.’ There was tree stumps and we had to jump onto them when he shouted ” The floor is lava!” We also got amazing views of the mountains and valleys! ” It was lovely to hear birds and the wind rustling the trees!” – Gabriella
