Pendarren House

A few nights ago I came back from Pendarren house which is an outdoor activity cenre that everyone in my school goes to when they are in year six. I stayed there for four nights with my class. A few days before we left, we were told to write down a list of three people who we wanted to be in a cabin with and three people who we want to be in an activity group with. On the day that we left we were told our groups. Then, everyday after that each group was given a separate activity to do. Once or twice, we even got two. The activities we were given were: bushcraft, high ropes, adventure journey, river study and canoeing. My favorite was canoeing because we were allowed to go off in the boats on our own.

While we were at Pendarren, the people there opened a tuck shop and we all bought lots of sweets. There was also a disco on one of the days, but I didn't want to join in with it so me and a few others went to another room to play games.

The day after I got back, I watched lots of TV to catch up with the four days I'd spent at Pendarren ;-)

Then I had to catch up with the maths and other work :-(

Yesterday a Couchsurfer  taught me and my sister how to make cornflour goo. We just had to mix water and cornflour together and mix them until they got to a consistency where if you jab it, it becomes hard like a normal solid, but if you handle it gently, it will become like liquid. Our Couchsurfer also told us that the scientific name for this kind of fluid is non-newtonian fluid I hope I spelt that right. 


Our Couchsurfer also taught us how to make pavlovas. Pavlovas are a kind of meringue with whipped cream and fruit on top. They  are delicious and I think I ate about 5 today!

I'm going on a school trip to a place called Pendarren, in Wales. I need to wake up before seven in the morning on Monday because I need to get to school by seven o'clock. When I get there, I'll have to look  through my bag to check if I've left anything. Then we will get on a coach, and voila!, We're off to Wales.
 We're going to stay for four nights, but I wish it was longer. I can't wait!
