The Ridge

Foxes and Otters would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Savage who found a very exciting video for us to watch this afternoon. Miss Sullivan and Mrs Lewis couldn't wait to play it to us...they knew we would be amazed and have lots to talk about.


Before we pressed play we talked about the first still shot and what we thought was happening. ''Did a helicopter drop him up there?'' wondered Faye.''no'' said Mateo, ''He carried his bike up but on his back not in his hands.'' Paige agreed with Mateo but worried that he was going to fall off. ''If he falls off he will damage his brain'' agreed Lucas.


As the video started there was a mass intake of breath and then a whispered ''Wow!''
''That's awesome, I've never seen a man do that before'' said Lucas. Reese was flabbergasted... ''He rowed all the way to the mountain for that awesome ride.'' Zack couldn't believe his eyes. ''it's like bike dancing.''
Lots of us told Miss Sullivan and Mrs Lewis that our Dads could do the same tricks! ''It's super cool'' said Mia whispering excitedly to Kerron. ''Yes, he is brave, like a knight''


Samuel told us that, ''My Daddy can't do that but he can climb up very big hills.'' Cameron couldn't take his eyes off the screen and when Danny jumped over the water he said ''I wish I could do those things.''

(This video can only be seen on a computer)

We asked to watch the video lots of times today and every time we spotted something new and exciting. We asked Miss Sullivan and Mrs Lewis to put the video on our blog so that we could share it with our families. Please leave a comment. We love to read your comments at snack time. Maybe you have some recommendations for other videos we could use a talk prompt?
