TARP SURFING

No beach…no problem.  How to surf waves in the playground.

RUNNING ON WATER?

PARKOUR

Couple of links here to an urban sport that originated in France (click on underlined names to watch videos).  The first is about a man called Jonny Budden, who is raising money to help Motor Neurone Disease.  His quest is to do 1000 miles of free-running from John O’Groats in Scotland to Paris, which he started on the 18 April.  You can follow his progress at www.stickyparkour.com

This second link is about a guy called David Barraclough (who grew up in Dunbar!).  He coaches and practices Parkour.  David is keen to come and show the class what is involved in the sport and do a little demo for us, which is fantastic!! Watch this space!

– an 11 year old boy showing what you do with a simple scooter.  Pretty impressive.

Stratospheric Skydiving – we’ve been learning about the earth’s atmosphere.  Here is someone who is attempting to skydive from the upper limits of the Earth’s atmosphere.  He is obviously not afraid of heights – he will be jumping from 36 km up in the sky!  Click here to find out more about the Earth’s atmosphere

Practice makes perfect – skateboarding perfection
