Winterthur trip

On the first day (Wednesday) of our fantastic trip to Winterthur, we went to a sports center where we went rock climbing and played indoor beach volleyball (no need for sunglasses and sun cream). The rock climbing was scary but fun and even though we had to wear strange shoes and our hands hurt afterwards, it was really worth it! We had three different difficulties of wall; the first one was easy, the middle one was medium and the last one was hard. We climbed the wall with safety grapples on because the walls were so high. Before you could start climbing, you had to ask someone to be the person that helps you get down and saves you if you fall. Some people went to the top (the professionals) and they are: Annabel, Sharon, Clara, Ms Fish, Anne-Gabrielle.
The beach volleyball was really fun too, even though the sand was really cold. Everyone had a go at it and everyone had fun! After we got tired of playing volleyball, we played in the sand for a bit and buried Ms Fish, Annabel, Devin and Sebastien. We either weren't playing correctly or the ball was too hard because that made our hands hurt too but, again, I don't regret it.
For the rock climbing and the volleyball, we had two teams that took turns on the volleyball court and on the rock climbing walls; they were called Winter and Thur. The place we went to to do all this was HUGE it had a go kart track and a skate park and there were a bunch of games like air hockey and mini basketball to play afterwards.

Our wonderful trip to Winterthur was mostly about our visit to the super-duper cool science center called Technorama. It is about science in a new scientific world with many optical illusions, explosion of gas demos, magnets, water, nature, chaos, light & vision and of course, magical maths puzzles. It was all a new experience of fun. At first, it might seem all weird and confusing but then you realize it is all in your head. However, we all know that the chemistry lab experiments were fantastic. Of course, it is hard but all you have to have to unscramble the answers is a passion for science and chemical experiments. Only of course, Miss Fish, the scientific fish can tell us all the story of how a balloon with helium explodes (because she is the smartest).
