SKIING

On Friday the 28th of August all students from year 4-8 at Yaldhurst Model School who wanted to go skiing did. Unfortunately since it takes about 1 and 1/2 hours to drive to the ski field, consequently we had to be at school by 7:00 am and be on the bus by 7:15 am.

Unfortunately for us the buses' clutch broke, thus, every time the driver tried to accelerate the bus went backwards, which is not a good thing when there's a corner not far behind you.

Luckily though, after half an hour of attempts to get the bus started, the bus drivers for Cashmere School stopped and put as many kids as they could get into each bus.

After getting to the ski field we got an hour and a half skiing lesson, then afterwards enjoyed the rest of the day going down the quad and the 6. I really enjoyed skiing as well as sleeping in massively the next morning.
