Best bits of your course

The gorge walk was the best because we went down the slide and got soaked but it was fun.

When we went under the waterfall, we all got drenched and cold but it was a great experience. I enjoyed challenging myself as I cannot swim confidently, when we where went through the shockingly cold water in the gorge.

 Most challenging bits…

The canoeing was the hardest as you needed to all row at the same time, but we finally realised that we needed to work as a team.

The rock climbing was challenging as I am scared of heights, but my friends and team encouraged me to climb up yellow rock.

The canoeing was also hard at the start because it hurt our joints in our arms and hands but it was still a good rewarding experience that I strongly advice others to have a go at this great experience.

 What did you learn about yourself?

That we needed confidence and bravery to complete the activities. 

That I can overcome my fears. That anyone can have a go.

 What did you learn about others (your team mates)

That you can trust your team mates during the activities, especially in the rock climbing.

That your friends are always their for you through hard struggling times

 What did you learn about the environment?

Not to leave litter on the floor, because it can be recycled and made into something else. 

That their were beautiful stunning views and we need to protect them as they are important. That recycling is important.

Best bits of your course

Gorge walking was the best activity because I enjoyed going on a zip wire and landing in different places. The zip wire was scary but also fun.

Having fun.Rock climbing as it was challenging, we learnt how important friction was when climbing. We also learnt how place our feet when climbing up the mountain.

 Most challenging bits…

Rock climbing was the most challenging, as it was hard to spot where we could place our feet and as I was scared of heights but everyone helped each other and was able to do it so we decided we would try.

The canoeing was the hardest and most challenging, as you needed to use all your strength to push the paddle through the water because of the strong winds.

 What did you learn about yourself?

That I can be more confident in activities. 

That we were up to challenges and able to do activities we didn’t think we could do. That sometimes we need to push ourselves rather than give up.

 What did you learn about others (your team mates)

That you can trust your team and communicate with each other well. 

That you should listen to what they have to say and give them support. That we need to be friends to each other to help them and for them to also help you.

 What did you learn about the environment?

That people climb up mountains in a similar way to which we did. There was a beautiful view.

The environment is beautiful and there are lots of good views. We need to remember to look after the environment.
