Tell me what you did at the weekend

Leave a comment about our trip. You could also write about your news.

At Pentrellyn it was FANTASTIC! We went canoeing, rock climbing, we did bushcraft, we roasted MARSHMALLOWS ! and made PIZZA !

When we went canoeing Mrs Fisher said the first one to get Mrs Hughes got a merit, but she soaked me first! I got her in the end. We jumped in and the water was really cold .

When we went rock climbing- I got to the top . When we did bushcraft we made a little den for Bob (Bob isn’t real) and we met Jim, he had a dog called Brack. Brack was really cute. When we made the pizza I put pineapple on my half .

I was in a bedroom with: Lillia, Summer, Lucy, Evie, Abbie, Daisy. We stayed up until three am. I got really tired.

We had hot chocolate and biscuits. We went on a night walk. We walked five miles. Mrs Hues gave me a piggy back but I walked most of the way. My friends had a pillow fight but I didn’t. We drew some pictures. I didn’t want to leave Pentrellyn, I had lots of fun .

Pentrecllyncymer was amazing! We went: canoeing, abseiling, rock climbing, made pizzas made sandwiches, bushcraft and we played lots and lots around the building. This trip will bring back lots of memories.

At 9;00 we had a hot chocolate and a biscuit. Then we had a play in our dorm- Tegid.

The first day we did an activity with Jim and Brac the dog. We did rock climbing and abseilng. First we played ‘the floor is lava’ on the wall. It was fun! Abbie and I won the game. Next we had to climb around the whole wall. I fell off once. Next we got the harnesses on and then we got to climb to the top of the climbing wall. We abseiled down.

After tea time we did a night walk, which was cool but a bit scary. We went through the woods which I thought was amazing. It was funny because Summer fell in the mud and she got her bottom muddy!

After the walk we went back to Pentre and then we went to bed.

The next day we had breakfast; cereal and sausages. It was yummy! After that we made sandwiches for lunch- they were really nice! After that we went canoeing. We had to wind the fish and we were going from side to side on the canoe. It was fun. Then we all jumped in! It was soooooooo cold!

After the canoeing we got ready to do bushcraft. Bushcraft is super cool. We first made a den for Bob then we made one for ourselves. We toasted marshmallows on the fire then smores!!

After we made pizzas and did a picture search, then we went to the shop.

The next day we did a walk to the Alwen lake. Next we sadly went back to school on the bus ;( However,  I was happy to come back to see my mum and dad and family and friends. We said goodbye to the team and Gronant and Trelogan.BYE BYE Pentrecllyncymer!!!!

On Wednesday we came back from Pentrellyncymer. We had a great time. We did lots of fun activities and we got to meet these nice dogs called Brac and Mabel. We also got to make our own fire and toast marshmallows in it.

We did kayaking and rock climbing. After we were kayaking we got to jump in the water. It was so cold I couldn’t breathe!

We did rock climbing and bush craft with someone called Jim. We got to make our own pizza. We also got to have lots of sweets and biscuits.

In the morning we had pillow fights and played tag.

Pentrellyncymer
On Monday we went on a bus to Pentrllyncymer. I was partners with Lillia. We got off the bus, we got our bags and put our bags down. We were told about safety and a fire drill. We were shown to our room- it was big- and we had a name, Tegid.
We did rock climbing, canoeing, walking, bush crafting. We had hot chocolate, sweets, toasted marshmallows and smors!

At Pentrellyncymer we went rock climbing. The climbing was very fun and new. Then we went canoeing and some of us were jumping in the water. It was fun. We went for a night walk and it was fun and we all did bush craft.
The bush craft was fun; we roasted marsh mallows- yummy! We made a fire and we made a see-saw and a den.

The best part was making pizza and then having fun in our dorms: eating sweets and playing on our beds.

We played a game. We went into groups and found pictures and bought things with our money.

In our dorms I was with Faith, Abbie, Daisy, Lucy, Evie, and Lillia and they were my friends.

If I had to pick one what I liked the most out of all the things we did, I would say everything. It was so so so so so fun! I love it at Pentrellyn.

When we were going back to school, I was excited to see my mum and dad, but I was also going to miss it at Pentrellyn. We were there for two days, I got used to it. I loved everything we did but my favourite favourite one is bush craft and canoeing.

Pentrellyncymer was AMAZING. My favourite part was canoeing and rock climbing. We did other activities like bush craft, mountain walking, eating marshmallows etc.

When I was on the bus to get there my partner was Matteo ;). On the first day of pentre I went wall climbing with the best instructor called Jim. He is as tall as a building ( not literally ) and is super duper kind. He defeated THE PYRAMID OF DOOM on his first try/fourth try.

Abbie and Matteo only got 1/4 way up and had three gos each for the both of the BRAVE LEGENDARY SOLDIERS.

On the second day of Pentre the teacher gave to me two lovely canoes and a trip to a reservoir. We all soaked Mrs Hughes! After, we jumped in the Brenig lake. We also went spear fishing, with our oars, in the middle of the lake.

We did a picture search and made our own pizza. I had pepperoni and Matteo had peppers, pepperoni, pineapple, ham and lots and lots of grated cheese on his pizza. On the third day of Christ… I mean Pentre, the teacher gave to me:  three hurt limbs, two lovely canoes and one trip to a reservoir. How I got those hurt limbs is; I went on a mountain walk on MOUNT DOOM.

Pentrellyncymer was FANTASTIC! We went climbing ,canoeing, learned bush craft and we went on a massive walk.

On the first day we went climbing with Jim- the most fabulous and amazing instructor!  We went to the chapel, which was about 10 seconds away from were we were staying. When we got to the chapel Jim let us play around and get used to using climbing but we were only allowed to climb around the grey area. Then we played some games- they were amazing! After all of the games we put some harnesses on and went to the sky! Well to the ceiling, and as high as we could possibly go. At the end me and Abbie challenged The Wall of DOOM! Or just the really hard wall that you can’t climb, and just as we were quarter the way up we lost our grip! We had three goes each. Abbie was super close but just couldn’t quite get there. Then it was my turn. I had to do this, it was up to me. I had my first go but I just lost grip…. same on my second, but then….. I was halfway up. I thought I could do it but…… oooooohhhhh! I only just slipped off!  It was so annoying, but at least we tried.

After that we went on a night walk- it was lovely . On the second day we woke up, after going to sleep at 1:00 in the morning, and for some of us 3:00 or 2:00!!!!  As for me, I went to sleep at 1:00.

When we woke up we had a lovely breakfast and got on a bus and went canoeing. When the boats were ready, we had a race to a green floating bag of air (a buoy). The boat that I was on beat the other boat and won, then we played some games and loads of the girls screamed because they thought they would fall off. Then we went spear fishing. We didn’t catch any fish but we winded loads of them. We had a race back to the shore and we won again.

After, we jumped in to the freezing cold abominable snowman water -no it was colder. We all jumped in. It was so cold everybody swam as fast as they could to get out. Finally we got out, but then we had to run back in again-  luckily we were all warm.

Finally it was the last day at Pentre and to finish it off we had a long, long, long, long walk but it was really nice. We walked over a ginormous dam and the Alwen river, it was lovely.

When we got back we had a hunt and made pizzas- welcome to Matteo’s pizzeria! I had peppers, pepperoni, ham, pineapple,mozzarella and lots and lots and lots of grated cheese.

I just want to say thanks to all the instructors and our parents and all of our teachers, explicitly Mrs Hughes and Mrs Fisher.
