Rooms 24,25,28 and 29 Chosen Valley

5-7 September 2011

Mesfen, Room 24... “Today my favourite activ-ity was Balance Island because you can fall in the water and get wet and my favourite recrea-tion time was the long waterslide; I went head first and when I went head first my head was really cold and it was freezing ice!” Maansi, Room 29... Five Senses The bright sunshine shining through the lake The long, shiny, black water slide The delicious food in the kitchen The water from the lake. The fresh morning breeze The rough ropes of the confidence course Mr Wilson’s loud, strong voice The kids screaming from the flying fox. The crunchy apple crumble The saucy pasta Mir, Room 29... The wonderful grass running through my fin-gers The wet and coldness of the great pond The amazing flying fox over the great pond The wacky water side going down the hill The beautiful dinner that’s cooking in the kitchen The beautiful smell of nature The great sound of a go-kart running down the hill.

When I first looked at it my blood pretty much drained out of me!!! Luckily once I got on I realised it wasn’t too bad until a gust of stuffy wind swept by and I was pretty much ready to fall off...”
