Mud Sliding

The Great Adventure of Mud-sliding by Sara Blezard

On Tuesday the 1st of November we went mud sliding. The teacher told us to get our stuff and get changed in Room 13. We got our bags and our stuff and went to Room 13. We got changed and then we had to leave our clothes there. We lined up at the door and waited for our teacher. We started walking to Henley Lake in two lines. We eventually got to the observation tower. We got out our lunch from our bags and started eating it. We got to go to the top of the observation tower class by class. The teacher told us to put our lunch away and start walking so we did. We walked for a while then we got to the big sports bowl and put our bags down, then the girls lined up for the mud slide. We had dishwashing liquid and water, we put lots of water down and the dishwashing liquid too. We started sliding down. It started to get really muddy. We got covered in mud - I looked like a big brown muddy bear! It was funny. Everyone looked so wierd. Then it was the boys turn and I went in the river. It was so muddy. It felt like the sand was sinking. I then realised it was! I started laughing, everyone else did too. It was funny. We all started laughing and then she said it was time to start heading back. We got our stuff and walked back. We walked back for a while but we got to school. We got changed out of our muddy clothes back into our uniform and went home.

Yesterday the Junior Middles went mud sliding at Henley Lake. The first thing that we did was get into our spare clothes so that our uniform didn't get dirty and sticky. Next thing is lining up to leave to go to Henley Lake. The class who lead the way was Miss O'Neale's class. It was long and Olivia got a rash from running in the grass because she is allergic to grass. Then the fun began. Miss O'Neale, Mrs Singh and kids were helping put the slide up. When kids went down the mud slide they had to run to make it muddy. After we had finished we packed up and went back to school.
