After that we got to play the bongo drums and learnt how to play a song. Then we went onto the activity field, where we ate our lunch and had a go on a tight rope. A rodeo bull and a surf board simulator.
Soon after we played dodgeball, where we were up against different teams. The final event was golf.
Overall, we really enjoyed the event and discovered new sports and experiences!
