Ski trip by Ciara

One crisp December morning, when the dark clouds were rising, the intrepid Dodos were of on an adventure to Norfolk snow sports club. We went to learn how to ski.

When we arrived at school we watched ski Sunday before the coach turned up. I told Kate Campbell, a very good friend of mine, that I would be trying all the AMAZING tricks he/she performed. Then the coach finally appeared outside the school and we got a phone call from the office to get all our bags and go to the coach. I sat next to Alisha Youngs on the way there!  

Then we got there we put our bags on the benches in the ski place and went to get our boots fitted. We had to try them on first just to make sure they fitted and we were told the boots fitted if the toes don’t scrunch up at the tip end of the boots. Secondly, we had too get our boots fitted to our ski’s but heres a VERRY important tip we learnt that’s too never put your ski’s on until your in an open space(outside).

Also, we had to warm up so we split into three groups and walked around a bit. While we were at it our skiing instructor, Santa Claus, talked about our health and safety.

Next, we had to walk up the steep ski slope. It took forever! Heres another tip….

Lean to the side a tiny bit, and then walk up like that.

At last we got to ski and it was fantastic! The only thing that wasn’t very fair was that the other groups got to go to the very top of the ski slope and we didn’t. We had to go half way down. Everyone tried not to fall over but it was IMPOSSIBLE! Overall, on the positive side, it was an amazing experience learning how to ski!

At the end of our skiing lesson, we went to wash our skies. We had to get changed out of our wet clothes to eat our lunch since I fell over in a big puddle. We then went up stairs to the bar to eat our packed lunch. I sat with Ellie Andrews, Eleanor Lloyd-Thompson and Paige Heathcote. It was her birthday that day.

In conclusion, it was a fantastic day overall. I recommend you should go there and you’ll have as much fun as me and my friends did! (Even if we did fall over!)
