Action world
The best school trip EVER!
The bus ride
to Action World was looong and boring. I had arrived early to school so I would
not miss anything. But then again, who didn’t? The teachers had called the roll
and then sent us straight to room 10, wishing us good luck as we went.
Room 10, despite
being the smallest class in the school, (it had been a storage room the previous
year) still seemed to hold almost all of the year 5’s with plenty of space to
spare.
There, Miss Cheeseman
called the roll and explained the basic rules. Then, we all piled onto the bus
and we were off!
Like I said
before, the trip was long and boring. Finally, we made it! We scrambled off the
bus. Then we met the instructors, who told us the plan of the day and went over
the rules. (Nothing new there) then they gave us our first activity, going
around 4 of the activities, the crazy ladder (where you have to climb up a very
rickety bridge that swings you upside-down with the slightest touch), the jump-in-slide
(my absolute favourite, you could off a ledge into an airbag or slide in a sack
down a very steep hill), the jungle
swings (swinging on bars that swung you high off the ground above an airbag)
and the climbing wall (no explanation necessary). Then we came back to the
tables for a quick drink and then it was free time around all of the activities
for about an hour. Then we came back for lunch. Then it was time to do the
trapeze. (same as the jungle swing except you swing back and forth twice two storeys
above the airbag before falling). All those
who did not want to do the trapeze (like me) got free time. After that we came
back for competition time, where we got into groups and did the 4 activities we
tried before. Then we piled back onto the bus and headed back. On the bus we
got free popsicles. (WHO-HOO!)
