Temple Basin Ski Trip

Walking up temple basin was one of the easier parts of the trip. The hardest part was nailing the pizza wedge. The first day we couldn't go on the rope tow if we couldn't do the pizza which was annoying because the easiest way to learn was to go up on the rope toe 
because you can just fall off. By the end of it, I could stop most of the time but never got the nut cracker so I couldn't go up to the top because we had to leave early because there was bad weather.

WPCA Trip #2 Rock Climbing and Abseiling

Hanging off a cliff by a rope, my heart pumping, and my legs shaking. I pull the rope down and abseil down the cliff. As I get close to the end there's a bit where I could not put my legs on the cliff and it felt really weird. I unclip and start to walk back up again later on, we walk back down to go rock climbing! There were 4 places for the rock climbing the first one was the easiest. The second and third one were the hardest and no one completed them. The fourth was harder than the first but still a lot easier than the second and third ones. Then after everyone had a go at the rock climbing we pack up and head back.

Term 2 Week 1 Reflection

This week was just like any other week. On Monday we decided we were doing girls vs boys as our debate topic. I was in the team that was for the girls so that will be interesting! We also played the game of awesome, which was pretty awesome... We had our second basketball training yesterday we just went through what we were doing and I can't wait for the game later today.  We also are starting a new subject in tech today. Hopefully it's cooking but either way, I should learn something new! Over the week we have been going through our high school check list but there's still a few I need to check up on! We also got to look at our Otago problem solving results which I got 3/5 on which I was really happy about.
