Ackers Adventure Centre!

8th Jul 2021

On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to take a trip to Ackers Adventure Centre!

We were so excited to take part in archery, rock climbing and skiiing!

In archery, we learned about how to string the arrow on the bow - with the odd colour on the fletchings facing away from us - and aim at a target. We had lots of fun trying to score points by hitting the target.

Then we went rock climbing. We had to wear helmets and a special harness. Then we were attached to a rope to keep us safe as we climbed the rocky wall. We all gave it a go and lots of us liked it enough to go up lots of times and even try a trickier part of the wall!

After lunch, we had a chance to go skiing. There wasn't real snow - instead, there was slightly spiky white plastic grass that was smooth on our skis like snow would be. We had to wear special boots and had our own sets of skis. First, we learned how to put on one ski and travel safely, then we had both skis on. We then learned about the best position to ski in so we wouldn't lose our balance - bent forward with our hands on our knees. Then we went down a little slope - it was very exciting! The hardest part was walking back up the slope without falling over!

We had such a fantastic time, and were fortunate enough to be back on the bus by the time the rain started!
