Task1 Sam R!
My First Two Weeks
At Reddam House
Hi, my name is Sam and I’m going to tell you about my first 2 weeks at Reddam House middle school. I didn’t really like school before I came to Reddam, but now I want to literally live at school and changed my perspective of school forever, it gave me a fresh fun and brand new perspective to the way I saw school. Before I came to Reddam I was afraid I was going to be the school punch-bag and everybody was going to bully me because that’s exactly what I was before when I was in primary school.
The best thing by far what I have done in the past 2 weeks of high school is camp specifically the Giant Swing and the Flying Fox. I will first explain to you the Giant Swing. This is the biggest highlight my first 2 weeks, first you have to put in an harness and helmet and I had to wait though because I was second and there was somebody in front of me and that somebody was Ruby and she is a good friend. Then when it was my turn I had to go up to the 4th step of a ladder which Zack brought for me, then my instructor Dan hooked me up to a huge tangle of rope and wires. After that I leant back held up by the rope I was pulled up by my group and Mr Garrett and when I was in the middle of the 3 biggest swing poles in the state I was told to pull a blue rope towards me and unknowingly I was let go and held by one rope with no hands I glided through the air at 100kmph and now I had part of the wonderful taste of parachuting from a plane.
Now I will tell you about the flying fox, this is practically the everyday version zip line of the ones that you see on TV, I had to wait about half an hour for everyone else to go and I gave all my turns to others, but there was a reward in it 2 full pages of mini-merits and I got to run back the zip-lines, while I was waiting I was talking to Mr Garrett asking if we could race each other but Mr Garrett didn’t get a chance to zip-line and I also talked to our secondary instructor Albert who was apparently an English raised child. When it was my turn to go I went with Don who was afraid of heights when we went up the 3 storey ladder and got hooked up we jumped and we both were hi-fiving each other and felt like supermen and when we got down everyone in the group told Don that he would have liked it and he agreed with them and I was joining in with the crowd.
Thanks for Reading! Bye!
