Adventure week

Adventure week


On Monday was the start of our adventure week. We went to flip out and I learnt how to back flip.
On Tuesday we did cooking and I baked some cookies. And on Wednesday I went biking in bottle lake forest. On Thursday we all went to Jellie park for an all day swim. Friday it was rumbustificasion day. Every day we could buy juices, there were different flavours I got the wild berry one but there was also lemonade and tropical. when we went to Jellie park I got sun burn on my face, my arms, my legs and back. I jumped off the high dive and it was spooky. I also did a BACK FLIP, it was so fun but I always jumped very close to the board. It was quite scary seeing it so close to my face.

When we went to flip out I learnt how to back flip for the first time, that's how I built up the confidence to back flip at Jellie park. I did my first back flip into the foam pit and it was so easy much easier then at Jellie park. I'm hoping the next time I get on a trampoline I do a back flip flat. most people know how to do a back flip but let me tell you, I had no clue what to do. Ha that rhymed. The first back flip I did was quite far away from the edge of the foam pit but as I practiced more, they got closer and closer to the edge. Eventually we had to leave and we went back to school.

On Wednesday I went biking with my friends. Most of all my friends went except for two. the biking was in bottle lake forest and it was a pretty fun track but the hills were slowing me down. my bike isn't high quality, in fact its pretty bad. all the other people had like $800 bikes and mine was $200. it didn't have much suspension or speed, but the others were pack with it. two gear boxes one for speed and one for pedal speed, really good suspension and overall just good bikes.

I enjoyed adventure week and I hope to do it next year.

Truss Bridge: James, Jeneva and Brandon

I am making a bridge using trusses with Jeneva and Brandon. It’s hard to make a bridge because you have to hold everything together. We have all worked well together but there was more input from Jeneva because she was the “brains”. Brandon supplied the popsicle sticks, but did the gluing and a pattern for the base of the bridge. I glued the bridge and did the painting as well as Jeneva. She directed us and had done the research on the truss bridge. I learnt that a truss bridge is stronger when the trusses are arranged in a triangle shape.
