The Glan Llyn Trip 2009 Year 5 and 6 waited in our class on the day we were going to Glan Llyn. We were very excited. We all left at half past nine. On the bus we made some new friends, Andrew from another school and Devon, but I knew Devon from football. I was sitting by Jacob on the bus. We got there and we put all our luggage in the hall. The lady gave us a little talk and they put us into groups. I was lucky. I was with Ryan, Owen and Jacob The bell went so we all went to the hall. The lady said that group Arenig would go bowling and that was me. I got 74 pins down! After that I asked Mr Davies, my group leader, what we were doing next and he said, ‘The ropes’. The ropes were up in the trees. We were shown how to put on a harness and a helmet. There was a rope assault course and a parachute jump. I did the rope assault course and I went up first. It was a bit scary but I got used to it. There was a wire running through the assault- course , every time I got to a bit where you have to balance I just hung on to the rope that was holding me up from the harness so I could balance. After we got back from this it was Dinner time it was curly fries and a hot-dogs . Then Owen and me went and bought 8 cans of fizzy pop for a midnight feast. After Dinner we had half an hour to do what we wanted. I rolled down the huge hill. The bell ran again and the lady said that our group were doing the quiz and the other group were doing the mini-games of sport. The quiz was in a big hall with a screen to see the questions. I was with Josh, Joe, Zeke , Jacob , Owen and me! We were called PENTRE!!!. At about 8 o clock a line dancing woman came in (I was bad just to tell you) and she taught us some line dancing that went on for ages! Finally on that day we went to bed but Ryan kept us up all night. We had a midnight feast, sweets and pop. Owen and Ryan put chocolate in Jacob’s ear when he was sleeping. He woke up and there was melted chocolate all over him. When we woke in the morning we were really tired. The bell woke us. I knocked on Zeke’s door to check the time. Breakfast was toast and coco pops because we missed the brunch. We had a play and bought more pop for that night. The first activity was raft building. Ours failed and went well. It floated for a while and then the lady pulled us in because we were going to drift off. A bit of water came in. We all jumped in the lake. This made us wet so we needed to change. We then went rowing with a teacher from another school. Mr Davies and his gang beat us they were like the Olympic team. We were like drowning cats. We didn’t need to get changed because it was not wet, so we took a 10 minutes break. I got into my water proof stuff to go canoeing. We talked about the Indians inventing the canoe. We canoed to the small Island that was by the place where we were staying. And the man said that there was a monster called Teged the lochness monster’s cousin and we put our head in the water to shout him and when we got our head back out we had to say, “ You are worth it”, in an American accent. We had to flick our hair back like a girl. We spent time with our friends and then we queued up for tea. It was French bread with cheese. Supper was a turkey dinner. The roast potatoes were a bit soggy but it was good enough for me! After the dinner there was a big disco. Mr Jones and Mr Davies were the DJs. They were not cool. That night we talked for a bit and made each other laugh. We drifted off to sleep except for Ryan and we didn’t put chocolate in Jacob’s ear. We had a good sleep and woke for brunch. Sir came and inspected our rooms and then we went on the bus to Bala. We went around the shops and Josh and Joe had chips. Everyone was moaning because we wanted some as well but we had chips for lunch at Glan Llyn so that was OK. We said goodbye to Glan Llyn. I learnt a lot of Welsh. My best bit was the rope course because it was scary but when I did it I thought it was fun. I had a really good time in Glan Llyn Donovan Evans
