2011/3/18 was quite a memorial day for the year 7 students in MYP department of WFLMS, because the school organized another IOS trip for the MYP department, and the activity the year 7 students was rock climbing.
After we arrived at the Shanghai Stadium, some of the students were very excited about the trip. Although some were very bored and annoyed, after all we spent most of our time happily.
Before we really started the progress, several coaches taught us the main points of rock climbing and made us did some exercises so that we wouldn’t get injured during the time of climbing. And then, a female coach did an example of climbing the easiest rock wall for us, we were amazed by the excellent skill of her.
Divided ourselves in to 4 groups and wore the protection belt, students went one by one climbing on the wall. There were 2 kinds of walls that were able for us to climb, the flat one and the one with some curves on it. Many girls climbed all the way to the top on the flat one and decided to try the harder one.
Amazingly, it was the girls that made the better result then the boys! Most of the boys thought that the flat one was too easy for them, so they skipped the easy one and tried the harder one instead. But none of them except for one made it to the top---Simon---Being one of the fastest runner of the 7.2 class, was the only person that made it to the difficult one’s top.
It wasn’t long till 2 hours of fun ended, I guess that most of the students enjoyed the fun of trying to climb up the tall wall, when you achieve a goal with effort, you’re always happy. I wish in the future the school could hold more activities that are good for our body and health, giving the students better chances to exercise in school.
