P7 Trip to Greenhill YMCA Day 1

4th Jun 2018

What a fantastic first day in Newcastle. We have been so lucky to have such beautiful weather for our trip. Read what the children have to say.

My favourite thing today was the bouldering jumping off rocks from great heights it was so fun. I did it a lot of times then we went canoeing. we had water fights and we played fruit salad and we had to swap seats we also had a race at the end we were far ahead until we just about lost. Jamie

My favourite activity of the day was the bouldering because we got to jump off high cliffs into water. it was so fun. I also loved doing canoeing it was so fun. Daniel

Today was amazing. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. The activities were bouldering and canoeing. We did the bouldering first and in  it we climbed rocks and jumped off them. At first I was terrified of jumping off but after a while I was ok. Then we did canoeing which ruled and we did games on them. In our free time we played football or went to the tree park. Dinner was also lovely. Jay

Today we did bouldering and canoeing. By far my favourite is bouldering, I loved jumping off the highest part. In the canoeing, when the man said take a shower we had to jump off the boat. It was so fun I can't wait for tomorrow's activities. Cullan
