The bus arrives and it’s time to go. We are going to Bedford Ropes Course and I’m so excited! I went to Bedford Ropes Course and I’m gonna talk about my three favorite things and what I learned about myself, a classmate and teamwork.

The three things I enjoyed the most were the rope bridge challenge, Indiana Jones and the wire walk. I liked the Rope bridge challenge was fun because you had to think of a plan so you didn’t touch each other. The rope bridge challenge was basically a rope structure and we couldn’t touch people or we would be out. Anyway, another example is it was easy but hard at the same time. It was hard not to touch people but easy to balance because you got to hold on to things. The last example is even though my hands hurt we got to swing on the outside of the ropes and climb a bit. The funny thing was I was thinking in my head This is gonna be so hard so I’m going in the back of the line but it ended up not being that hard. The next thing that I enjoyed is the Indiana Jones. The Indiana Jones was beams, ropes and swings. You had to balance on the beam and when you got to the tree it was a checkpoint, The ropes you had to balance on and you had to step from swing to swing. One example is there were three different obstacles there was a beam part, A wire and a wood swing. I remember saying to Suhana at the beginning “ This is going to be impossible, how am I going to do this?”. Another example is you had to have focus and you had to balance because some of the beams were really skinny or they had a big slant, for the ropes it was hard not to swing of because they were so small and I didn’t get to the swing part but I could see it was hard to reach from swing to swing. The last course that was fun was the Wire walk. It was when you had to come up with a strategy to get your whole team across without falling. What made it easier was you had checkpoints at every tree and there was a square to stand on that you could help people on. One example is you had to balance and I think that I have good balance so it wasn’t too hard but when I was on my butt, I did end up doing like three back flips on the wire. When I was back flipping I heard someone say “Woah look she keeps spinning”. Another example is you had to come up with a strategy and there were things to help like a square where you could stand and help people. I remember people were relieved when they found out about the square. These are the challenges that I enjoyed.

Now that you know what I enjoyed I’m going to talk about who encouraged me and what I learned. I realized Jordyn is really encouraging because she kept cheering for me and other people that she wasn’t even friends with. She also didn’t care if they were cheering her on she did it anyway. What I learned about myself is that I was scared to do some stuff because I didn’t want to let my team down. For example when we did the rope swing challenge and only had one touch left. Everyone would have to come back and I didn’t want to be the person who made everyone go back. Also for the bridge I didn’t let my team down because the things that you had to have balance at I was good at. I learned that I also have good balance and can do more than what I think I can do. Now I’m going to talk about what I learned about teamwork. I learned about teamwork as we had to work together for a lot of these as a team. For some it was helping people and maybe sacrificing yourself so they could go. These are the important things I learned about teamwork, myself, and my classmates 

This is why I enjoyed the Indiana Jones, Rope Bridge Challenge and Wire Walk and what I learned about others. I think this helped our classroom community because we had to work together as a team for most of the courses. Now that you’ve learned a bit about the Bedford ropes course would you ever go? Or have you ever been?
