Day 2: The End of Day Physics Circus (By Jessica)

After a long day of hard work we were provided with an outdoor buffet in the main amphitheater. As Ms Miller said "There were delicious israeli delicacies as far as the eye can see".

Once our stomachs were full and satisfied we were presented with a circus filled with all kinds of juggling; diabolos, plate spinners, balls and devil sticks. We were given the chance to turn into jugglers ourselves and try each of the items ourselves and came to find that everything is a lot harder than it looks.

We also saw, to Sass' excitement, a balloon animal show where we were taught how to make various creatures using only balloons. We finished this activity with a balloon statue competition. We were given 15 balloons and had to largest self-standing structure where Team Canada prevailed and won!

Finally, the icing on the cake, A fire show! This involved a fire dancer juggling fire using different flammable materials.
