Before the rock climbing we had to put on helmets and harnesses. Then we headed over to the cliff and John Paul got attached to a rope so he couldn't fall.He got all the way to the top. Then it was Michael's turn.Hhe got to the top as well.Then finally it was my turn. I only got halfway up. After that we went home.

Gladiator
Gladiator is like an ESB pole with loads of obstacles. Cormac and John went first and they got up there like a rocket. Then they both jumped off at the same time.Then it was me and Maurice. Ii got up but Maurice didn't. When I got up it was fair tall. I stayed up there for a minute or two and then I jumped off.Then it was Bill and Micheal. Bill got to the top Micheal didn't, then Bill jumped off.

Gladiator
The Gladiator is an obstacle course that you climb up instead of going through. You have to climb up logs,a ladder, a net, tyres and then you have to climb up one more log and you're up. Me and Daire went at the same time but we did not race. I think I got on well because I made it to the top.But when I looked down I got a shiver up my spine. If you make it to the top before the team members let you down you have to make an animal sound.

Aquapark BallyHass
The BallyHass school tour aquapark. The aquapark in Ballyhass was really big and they said it was the biggest aquapark in Munster. We were waiting a while for the other schools to change but once we got on in the water it was worth the wait. There was a trampoline, a big slide, there was a jumping place and even a hamster wheel. When I got on the hamster wheel with Conor and Bill we kept falling over and it was really funny. Then we went on a really big puffy balloon thingy and we kept pushing each other off and it was great crack. Overall it was a really fun day and I highly recommend going there.

Rock climbing and abseiling!
On Wednesday me and my class went to Ballyhass Adventure Park. Our third activity was rock climbing and abseiling! First we had to put on our harnesses and helmets. When we had our safety gear on we were all secured and were put into groups of ten. After that we walked down the cliffs where the rock wall was! We then started climbing. It was great fun. After we made it to the top we had to lean back and walk slowly. We were not allowed to jump down because it was slanted! Then we headed onto our 4th activity and had a great day!

Team challenges
The first thing we did was team games. We did an obstacle course in pairs.One person had to spot the other person. I was with Joe and I was spotting him first. Then it was my turn first I went on a balance beam then a smaller one. There was a tight rope next and a climbing net.

Our school tour to Ballyhass!
After lunch we split into groups. One group headed to do the gladiator. Our group went rock climbing and abseiling. We walked down a path and stopped at a smooth bit of a small cliff. There were ropes hanging from the cliff. Our instructor told us to try and touch the chain at the top. I went first. The instructor clipped the rope onto my harness. I used a rock that was jutting out to start. I used loads of cracks and some rocks to get to the top. Eventually I touched the chain. Beside me Ella touched the chain too. We headed down. I thought it was a bit scary going down so I went down fairly slowly. Finally I got to the bottom. I helped with pulling the ropes. Soon everyone had a go. We finished up and went on to the next thing, which was The Gladiator!
Aqua Park
The aqua park is an inflatable course on the water. We went to the aqua park after an obstacle course. We had to wait for a different school to be finished getting changed into their wetsuits. When we were ready to go into the water we had to swim over to it ourselves. It was super fun. I jumped into the water and first I went on the trampoline. Next I jumped off of the tallest obstacle. It was super fun. Everyone had so much fun.

BALLYHASS
After the aqua park we collected our bags and walked over to the lunch area. There was a cafe so I went inside with my friends and bought an ice cream. Then we sat down on a bench and ate our lunches. The weather was so nice. When we were done we went over to the fence to look at the cool lake. After a few minutes, Billy and Sarah came to collect us to bring us to our next activity.
Daire; 4th Class
GLADIATOR
The gladiator is a big tall object that has obstacles on it like a net and tyres and more, that you have to climb up very high. Cormac and John Ppaul were first to go. They both did really well.I think John Paul got up first but not by very much.When it was my turn I felt a bit nervous, but I still did it. I was up against Michael. He did really well. We both got to the very top.When I looked down I was frightaned . To get down you had to hold on to your rope and jump. I wasn't that scared because I knew I was safe.

Ballyhass Aquapark
We went to Ballyhass for our school tour. The second activity we did was the aquapark. We went down to the changing rooms to change into our wetsuits and get ready. Then we went down to the pier and jumped into the water. The aquapark was amazing. It had three jumping platforms, a few slides, a hamster wheel, a trampoline and a big pillow in the middle. I did everything on it. The jumping platforms were my favourite. Joe and I were wrestling each other on the big pillow. The aquapark was probably my favourite thing at Ballyhass.
Eoghan 4th class
On the bus ride home we were all tired and a bit hungry. Some people fell asleep and some didn't. It was a long ride home that we got back at half 6. When we were driving back everyone kept asking the teacher when we would be home. The teacher came around to check on us to make sure we were ok. We said it was too hot and that she could open the sunroof. The bus driver also turned on the air conditioner too. We were delighted to be home after a long but enjoyable day.
