Porters Ski Trip

Porters Ski Trip

On Monday the 15 August 2016 me and my class went to Porters to go skiing for the William Pike Challenge Award. We got put with a group of students and parents to travel with to Porters.  My group was me, Ryan, Wil, Ms Kemp and Mr Pattinson, eventually we got in Mr Pattinson’s car and we drove to Porters.  

First we got our ski equipment and brought it to the first slope we were doing which was the beginners slope. We got put with a ski trainer depending on our ski level, I have only skied once so I was on level 2.  We got taught to stop, slow down, turn and of course how to actually ski.  

Once we were done our lesson we had lunch and water to keep our brain and body powered with energy.  After lunch we were free to do whatever we wanted.  Eventually after playing a bit in beginners I decided I wanted to go to intermediate so I practised until I was ready to go to the intermediate slope.

Eventually I got there and was ready to go down the intermediate slope.  I first went down with Mrs Williams for my first few times, then Mr Bugler went down with me the rest of the time, Ms Kemp ran along with me too.  Later that day I got really good and eventually I got really tired and managed to crash through a net and into a fence, luckily though I ended up okay.

In the end we decided it was time to leave.  We packed away our equipment, got our shoes on, hopped in the car and ate some food.  While we drove back to school we played I spy, I managed to get a hard one Ms Kemp made which was evaporation.  

Eventually we got to our destination, school!  Once we were at school we waited for our parents to come pick us up from school.  In the end my parents came, we thanked the other parents and teachers for the amazing trip and we were off home.
