On the 31st March the Year Sixes went on a school trip to Tree Tops Adventure to challenge ourselves. Everyone was waiting excitedly to get there on the bus. We were glad when we were finally there.
When we arrived we saw dirt bike tracks and people doing amazing courses. I really wanted to give it a go. Everyone got of the bus and then walked by the Safety Instructors and they gave us something to put on called a harness. A harness is something that protects you if you fall of the tree. Its just like a safety belt.
After we put our harnesses on we went to a practice course to see if we could do it properly and we all did it so we went on to course .
It was AWSOME because it was a bit hard and everything wobbled so we had to really concentrate and try hard.
Next I went on course 4. I was absolutely terrified but I never gave up and I passed the course. At the ending there was a GIGANTIC flying fox on to a big pile of sand. It was very challenging.
After we got drowned by sand, we went to course 2. It was long and I got VERY scared so I tried as hard as I could to complete it.
My favourite part of going to Tree Tops was that I did something that I never thought that I could ever do. I really enjoyed doing the HUUUGE flying fox because it was very high.
I think I used the habit of mind Flexibilty in Thinking because I never thought that I could use a harness or climb the tree and was impressed with myself that I managed.
I also think that I used the habit of mind taking responsible risks because I used one carabeana at a time because if you unclipped two you could fall.
After that it was time to go back to school and it was a LONG LONG drive but we finally arrived. Tree Tops was the most exiting trip ever!!
