Circus Extravaganza
Ever looking for something different to do during school holidays?
On Wednesday July 15, FYRE (Kangaroo Valley's Youth Committee) arranged a Circus Workshop for all of us in Kangaroo Valley. Circus Monoxide from Wollongong came to Kangaroo Valley to teach the kids some circus tricks.
We arrived at the hall, split up into two groups, one group did juggling, the other group did hula-hoop, then they swapped over, after we had recess, then we split back into two groups, one group made human pyramids while the others were walking on stilts, then they switched over.
I found the stilts really hard.
Indy seemed to be the best at it in our group and walked about 12 steps without assistance before stacking it.
Daisy loved the stilts. The stilts were nearly as high as me but I still managed to walk with them. It was really, really fun. After I fell out of them I wanted to get back on but I couldn't get up.
We put three people in the human pyramid at a time, but we also tried once with five.
My (Jesse's) favourite thing to do was definitely the juggling.
We had about 40 kids there on the day and everyone thought it was terrific. I hope they come again cause it was really fun.
