Day 4 at PGL Liddington - Thursday 8th June 2017

Thursday 8th June

Aeroball

We had a fab time doing Aeroball, our instructor was really friendly and helped us to learn what we needed to do. 4 of us at a time were each bouncing in a little pod that was like a trampoline and we had to shoot hoops in each other's net. Kieran scored 5 which was really great! We all had lots of fun. Ben was really good at throwing 4 balls all at once... Very clever!

Trapeze

We really enjoyed doing the trapeze challenge, our PGL instructor had given us safety instructions before we started so we had to listen carefully. In order for us to get to the ledge to jump onto the trapeze, we had to climb up a telegraph pole. It was really challenging at first but with the support of my team mates, staff and our PGL insrtutor we got there in the end. It was an amazing experience and we would do it again.

 

 

 

 

Jacobs ladder

Jacob's ladder was a challenging activity especially in the wind, some of us was a little nervous to climb up the ladder but wanted to try for the experience. It was a lot harder than it looked but with the support of our team mates we done as far as we could go. And then jumped of, it was  really fun. We also had the support of our team mates belaying the ropes we were attached to which made it safer for us.

Survivor

Survivor was instructed by a PGL instructor that looked like Justin Bieber he had taught how to make fire using cotton  and lint, all of us had lit a fire successfully after a few goes of trying. We had to some great videos of all of us making fire.

As well as making fire we had to build a shelter that we would be able to survive in.  Each of us in 3 different groups worked well as a team to present 3 different types of shelters, it consisted of table and chairs   all made from logs and branches and leaves from decorations. A shelter with a log for a chair and a fire place. This was an  a really good experience and we learnt a lot.
