Tough kids writing

Ms Bevis was unable to come to Tough kids this year so Room 8 has written some interesting recounts of certain parts of their day....

My favourite part was going on the very slippery slide. I felt nervous because it was very scary, then I slipped down. I went past lots of people when I slid down. I was scared when lots of people were looking as I went past but then I got over it.

At Tough Kids we had to climb up the black slip and slide with ropes. Once we had finished that we had to climb through the tyres and over the planks - we were nearly finished.

The tyres were hard to climb through because the holes were huge! 

When we went under the 'camou' net, my hair got stuck! All the girls with long hair had the same problem...

I loved going on the water slide! It was fast and amazing! I want to do it next year. Also it was my favourite obstacle there! I did not like the orange wall because it was crowded there.

My favourite part of the day was when I was running hard out! After that I was covered in sweat from head to toe. When i was standing there and looking down at the muddy ground. When i went down i landed in this muddy water! I kept on running to the spider web-it was really hard to get through it!

There I was, standing on the top of the water slide. I have been here before because I went here last year for Tough Kids 2015! So, as I was saying, I was at the top. I could not bring my feet to to jump down the slide. I could see other people catching up. I could hear screaming coming from the stadiums.

My eyes were not even opening, my tummy was hurting, I was nearly going to fall down. I just wanted to have a cold shower and lie down. It was a big slide. I had to climb up it, people were shouting, "You can do it!" I was nearly going to vomit. I wanted to stop. I could not stop - I wanted to be tough!
I went down the slide and into the water. I was sweating, the sweat ran down my cheeks.

My favourite part of the day was the spider web because it had string all over the tent that we had to climb over and crawl under. I almost got stuck in the spider web. I was crawling the whole time. It felt all sticky and gooey. When I got out of the tent I stood up and my legs felt all rubbery and soft. I almost fell over when I got out of the tent!
