Tuesday - Wild Weather Day




Hello everyone, Tuesday already done - weather forecast:  Start of day - brilliant blue skies, sunshine and extremely hot.  Midday - darkening skies, thunder and lightning.  Afternoon - lots and lots of rain.  Children were again brilliant with lots of challenges faced and the weather didn't dampen any activities.  Enjoy reading about today:


 Group 5
Hello from group 5.  Day #2 in our group for breakfast we had cereal, toast and rolls with sausages.  For our first activity we swam a gorge and jumped off of lots of cliffs.  Then we came back and had lunch.  After lunch we went skiing, when we came back we were soaking wet because there was a thunder storm and it rained a lot.  That has been day 2 by Emily, Zander and Isaac. 



Group 4
Day 2 in the morning group 4 went to a gorge and we put wet suits on. It was really warm. In the water it started off cold but after a bit of time it was pretty warm. Surprisingly the water tasted nice. We got to deep water and jumped off rocks. We also lay down and went through the rapid water too. At the end we all dried up and got changed. By Robbie
In the afternoon we went to the ski store. We got some ski boots, skis, gloves and helmets and headed to the dry slope. People thought that when Liam T fell over it was funny but then Mr. Hill fell over. I got three quarters of the way up. By Frankie
(Note by Mr Hill- the nice cleaning lady gave me a towel because I left mine at home)
 
Group 3
After we got up, we went down to breakfast.  Once we finished breakfast, we had to rush up the stairs to tidy up our rooms for room inspection.  The highest score was 9 and the lowest score was 6.  Raffa told us that we were going to do mountain biking.  Then we got us our bikes, helmets and told us to check our brakes and gears.  We left about 10 o’clock and came back at 12:30.  Once we were off and away, almost everyone fell off their bikes.  It was a lot of fun (Raffa led us the wrong way and we had to go up a steep hill).  That was our morning activity. 
Our afternoon activity was gorge walking and cliff jumping.  We walked all the way to the bridge and turned right and headed down to the gorge.  We had to cross a slab (rock).  Raffa told us to jump backwards into the water.  We had to climb up to our next jump (the jump of doom).  It was the second biggest jump but the highest jump was the ‘jump of death’.  The first person to jump off was Maciej and he said ‘ME!’ constantly when Raffa asked him a question.  We went through the rapids and did the ‘Belly Flop’ challenge and the ‘jump of death! After 2 shots, we walked back to the centre.

Group 2
Tuesday 7th June,
Today the first thing we did was go snowboarding. It was scorching hot and our gear was heavy ( especially the boots) We did really well and it was super fun ( I got three quarters up the hill - Samantha); ( I learned how to brake properly –Erin J.); (I learned how to fall properly! – Taylor)
Then we had lunch, after that we went gorge walking (more like swimming) It was really cold to start off with but we warmed up quickly. We jumped off 3 metre cliffs and went in rapids. We all got soaked but it was really fun. (I am proud of myself for going down the rapids because I was scared at first – Erin J.)( I was so proud of myself for trying everything – Samantha)

Group 1
Today our group did the gorge walk.  Its name is Feshie Gorge, it was amazing because we got to jump over very high rocks. We got VERY WET !!! We looked great in our wet suits but we looked like penguins. After our lovely lunch we went mountain/puddle/very wet biking in Glen Feshie Forest (We hope that is the right name) It was very bumpy and hard to get across some of the paths. There was thunder and lightning – it was very loud but it cleared away after a peedie while. We also did some bike skills – going along a seesaw, balancing along a narrow beam. Mike (our instructor) showed us how to do the skills part first, some of us were a little unsure but lots of people in the group had a go and did really well. A very full on day.
