Adreanleine forest (EOTC) Trrip Week
Last week I spend my time on a trip that included Spencer park and the Adrenaline forest. There were other trips that sadly I could not go to but the trip in which I did attend was really fun. We had to be at school at 8:00 so my family was in a rush to feed the kids and get to our trip it was going to be a hot day so I wore summer clothes. When I got into class I handed my teacher the permission slip and students scattered to different busses because we had four Kahui in year seven to nine and we all had a different trip on the same day. I remember a bendy bus and a normal modern-day bus but the bus we jumped on was old looking.
Once everyone was sitting down the bus started moving. I was sat next to Miss. Taylor my homeroom teacher, Jaz one of my classroom friends, and Mr. Mitchell. The bus ride to spencer park was nice we talked joked around most of the time. It was really nice seeing our teachers joke around with us. I noticed a lot of farm animals and trees obviously.
Loved the most
When we finally arrived the bus before we were already getting ready for Adrenaline forest so our group headed down to spencer park I guess it was a first in first served kind of thing. The first thing I did once we entered the park was dropping my bag in the eating area and then ran towards the playground with one of my friends. The first activity I played on was the flying fox. as I zipped on the flying fox all the trees and places around me turned into one green and colorful blur. Next, I ran to the green slide and slid down multiple times in the time-space of a minute I had gone down that slide three times.
The other activity that was at Spencer park that I participated in was...
- Climbing equipment
- Swings
- Spider web
When I was On the swings with my longest friend we were playing on the swings and as I was swinging I swang to high and I tried jumping off the swing but chickened out so my back hit the seat on the swing and bent me and my friend laugh so hard we turned red. After that, I took a break to drink some of my juice and eat my apple, pringles, and muffin some of the kids forgot their food so I shared mine.
Once done eating I took a nap on the Spider web and went back to the flying fox and slide. After waiting my turn I allowed some younger kind in front of me I felt anxious because I was scared they may hurt themselves. There was this little boy who tried to jump onto the flying fox and started to dangle up as the flying fox started to sip down the hill so I had to grab him and help him back on that felt good. I ended up going to the seat to relax before heading to the slide and I "did not" handed some kids some lollipop almost kind of getting caught.
When we finally had the chance to get to the Adrenaline forest I washed my hands and got given some safety advice to make sure we could stay safe. when we got our equipment we got one more talk and we got told to yell out to one of the staff for help I forgot all but one of their names. The name I remembered was Tenton but I will give the rest of the staff random names like Bob and Ross. I started on the trail 3-B.
What Frightened me
I had all confidence and whizzed through most of the task but I started to get scared when one of the obstacles where wobbly. The moment that scared me the most was when I had to unhook my safety hook in the middle of an obstacle and hock it back up then I got stuck but luckily I have harnessed it up again and when I fell I didn't die.
Learned that
As I was doing these obstacles a friend of mine got stuck and she needed some help so I called for random names because I forgot the helper's names. I had to try my best to remember their names because she and I wanted to carry on. I remembered the staff telling us that we probably won't remember one of their worker's names but will remember their names so I tried my best to remember his name and then it clicked. I yelled out Tenton and then the staff came along and helped.
What Challenged me
After some time Mr. Mitchell told us we were late and had to get everyone off the bus. So we all had to rush our obstacles I had to go on a zip line and wrecking ball then take off my harness and gloves. I grabbed my bag and waited in the grass area there I met a dog named Wally who was scabbing some kid's lunch. Wally was super Cute and very muddy. When everyone was together again we did a role said thank you to all the helpers and ran off to the bus.
Would like to see next time
If we got to do any other activity for EOTC week I would like to do some trips like go-carting because it is thrilling and fun. Or maybe going outside more somewhere outside. As long as we get to do something adventurous on a hot day I will be up for it.
I enjoyed my trip because we earned it and it was at a very exploratory place where we could have fun eat talk and climb. I am thankful to the teachers and students. I am thankful the students earned the money to pay for the trips. I am thankful for the teachers who organized the trips because we had a really tough year. But most of all I am thankful to my parents who allowed me to attend that day.
