If I was in the Circus what act would i do and why?

If I was in a Circus, I would want to be a Trapeze artist.
This is because I think it would be really fun and exciting swing near the roof of the arena. Which would be amazing!!!!

Types of Trapeze

  • Static trapeze refers to a trapeze act in which the performer moves around the bar and ropes, performing a wide range of movements including balances, drops, hangs while the bar itself stays generally static. The difficulty on a static trapeze is making every move look effortless. It is like dance, in that most people of a reasonable level of strength can get onto the trapeze bar for the first time and some basic tricks, but an experienced artist will do them with much more grace and style.
  • Swinging trapeze (or swinging single trapeze) refers to an act performed on a trapeze swinging in a forward - backward motion. The performer builds up swing from a still position, and uses the momentum of the swing to execute the tricks. Usually tricks on a swinging trapeze are thrown on the peaks of the swing and involve dynamic movements that require precise timing. Most of the tricks begin with the performer sitting or standing on the bar and end with the performer catching the bar in his/her hands or in an ankle hang (hanging by the ankles by bracing them between the rope and the bar). This act requires a great deal of strength, grace, and flexibility. The trapeze bar is weighted and often has cable inside the supporting ropes for extra strength to withstand the dynamic forces of the swing.
  • Flying trapeze refers to a trapeze act where a performer, or "flyer," grabs the trapeze bar and jumps off a high platform, or pedestal board, so that gravity creates the swing. The swing's parts are the "force out" (sometimes called the "cast out") at the far end of the first swing, the beat back and the rise (a.k.a. "seven") as the performer swings back above the pedestal board, and then the trick is thrown at the far end of the second swing. The performer often releases the bar and is caught by another performer, the "catcher," who hangs by his or her knees on another trapeze, or sometimes on a cradle, which can be either stationary or also swinging. People of any size are able to execute basic trapeze manoeuvres. Flying trapeze is generally done over a net or occasionally over water.


So  all in all I really think that being a Trapeze Artist would seriously awesome but scary at the same time because you would be along way from the ground.

If you could be any type of sandwich what would you be and why?



If you could be any sandwich what would I be and why?


If I could be a sandwich I would want to be a Bacon, Egg and Cheese sandwich. I don't know why but I would really like to be this sandwich, it's probably because my favourite foods are bacon and cheese and because it is very nice to eat in a cold morning because it gives you warmth.

The ingredients in this sandwich go very well together because they each hold a similar flavour that mixes well with the other ingredients. The bacon holds a rich and savoury flavour that can be sweet depending on the type of bacon and whether it has been cured or not. The best type of cheese to put in a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich in my opinion is Noble Tasty Cheese. I think this because this type of cheese tastes very rich which tastes really good with the bacon and a runny egg. I’m pretty sure you know what an egg tastes like so hopefully I don’t have to explain what it tastes like but it goes very well with bacon and melted cheese in bread.

As you can probably tell I really enjoy bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. Especially in the mornings.
