ARCHERY!
Archery is a really fun activity for children to
do. Most people say that it is not far off from
bow and arrow. The aim of the game is to get your
arrow into the yellow ring. On each arrow there
are three different colours. There is one odd
colour that faces to the right.
This is a person trying to aim in the yellow ring.

THE CLIMBING WALL
The climbing wall is a great experience suitable
for people all ages. The climbing wall is quite
tricky to get hold of, because the knobs are
quite small.
This is a picture of an adult climbing the wall.
You are attached to a karabiner so that if you
let go, you wont fall down, you will just dangle
in the air.

ABSEILING
Abseiling is an extremely fun activity. You have
to be strapped into a harness so that people can
clip you on to the ropes . The Abseiling tower is
30/40 feet high, and when you look down it is
really scary. But, when you look up it doesnt
look that scary. When you are going down the
Abseiling tower, you have a rope that you hold on
to so that you can make yourself stop if you want
to. I think that the scariest bit is when you
have to lean back over the massive tower.

THE ZIP WIRE
The zip wire is a breathtaking experience. To get
up to the top of the tree, there is a ladder and
from what people say, it is a fairly high ladder.
When you are at the top of the tree, the helper
would clip you on to two karabiners. They just
tell you to lean forwards or backwards and you
just go whizzing through the air!

Crate challenge
The crate challenge is a very exiting challenge
to do. First of all, you get strapped in to a
harness and you can either do the challenge in a
pair or on your own, but all of us did it in
pairs.
The highest that anyone got in our group was 18
crates, but then they wobbles and fell down!

Safety
As you can see in this picture, these people are
clipped onto harnesses on the crate challenge
When you are doing anything at Blackland Farm, if
you are jumping, balancing abseiling or anything
else, you will always have a harness on, and then
you will be clipped onto a karabiner. The
teachers will show you how to put the harnesses
on. The small people had to wear some special
harnesses so that they dont fall down from the
abseiling tower.

Evaluation
We did most of our power point by ourselves, but
we did have help by someone in our class to
insert some pictures, and to make the noises come
on to the words. We also had to change some
pictures because you could see some peoples faces.
Next time we do a PowerPoint/WebPages we will try
to do it more on our own. Now that we know how to
do more things than we did, we can do it more
easily.
