Morning Activities - Rock Climbing and Survivor
We had to wear harnesses on our legs and our bodies. There were three carabiner clips that attached our harness to a rope. We had to pull on the rope and let go to check it was working. We then were asked “climber ready” and had to say “climbing” then we could climb. We could take part in challenges and race each other. It was really fun and we scored loads of points!

In Survivor we learned about what we could do to survive if we were stranded on an island. We then made a shelter by tying pieces of string to make a roof. We found logs to make seats, a stump to make a table and sticks to make spears - just in case we needed to go hunting!
We used flints to make a fire. We had to point the flint down to the cotton wool and push as hard as we could to get the sparks onto the cotton wool to start the fire. Only the instructor and Miss Wrigley started a fire though!

Afternoon Activities - Problem Solving and Abseiling
In problem solving we had to solve problems like using a rope to hook 4 buckets with a rope on 4 sides and you have to tighten it and loosen it and we had to communicate so we could tell people when to pull it and let go of it.
We had to put pipes together and use all of the pipes and the brackets to get the ball from the beginning to the end. I pushed the ball from the beginning.

When we did abseiling we got secured by a harness and we went up a long set of stairs.
When we got to the top our leader buckled us up and we leaned back and held onto the rope.It was very high but we pushed through the fear. Once we were ready we started to walk backwards; it was really fun. Once we had a try I’m glad we did it and I’m sure the rest of the class had a spectacular time.

Evening - Disco!
When we entered the hall, it was dark and had coloured disco lights. Loud music was playing and everybody was dancing. People were having fun in their disco outfits and with their friends. My favourite music was the happy music and I even got to choose some - I chose Gangnam Style! We had our disco with another school and some of us were talking to the boys from the other school. After the disco, we had sweets from Freya which was really kind of her.
