Curling Trip

Just imagine you in a huge curling court and you play against another team you are tied 0-0 you are the first up and ready to go. You do your motion and SWOOSH goes to the stone at a high speed and watches it go in the house. Because that is what happened when we had our curling trip today.

At the curling trip first we got to pick out your teams. I chose Jackson and Elenie and Chloe joined. We each went to our spots in the court and we practiced. The instructors helped us get the hang of sliding the stones. After we practiced we were ready to play against our opponents. We were up first and I was the first person to go up on my team. I did everything the teacher told me and BAM I slid it so hard that it hit the other stones on the other side. After that I swepted for my teammates. Finally I was up again and I did the same thing with my movements but  fell and hit my hip on the ice but my stone still made it in the house.

The curling in the ice was way different then in PE. First the ground was slippery on the ice and also the stones were much heavier then the ones with wheels because we were so use to picking them up in our motion  but when i tried doing that it wouldn’t budge. We could finally slid in our motion then using the carpet mats. Also we had a stabilizer to help us glide without falling and how we can finally sweep the stones to     make it go farther.

Overall I would rate the trip a 5 out of 5. It is one of the best trips ever and i wish i can go there again and I probably will. I went there and you should too.
