To show our support for Steve in his ‘Seven Summit Challenge’, Reid Street Primary School took part in a charity fundraising day. Wearing our climbing clothes and bobble hats, year 5 took part in lots of different tasks similar to what Steve and his team will face this year in their climb up Mount Everest.
We had to walk along a tightrope to represent the crevasses on the mountain. Afterwards, year 5 faced the challenge of carrying heavy mountain gear in rucksacks to represent the oxygen tanks and other vital supplies the Sherpas have to carry up and down the mountain. Our final challenge of the day was completing an obstacle course, climbing through each base camp until finally reaching the summit of Mount Everest!
