    All the other numbers that aren’t there means that I haven’t done them yet, but hopefully will do before I turn 11 3/4 !!

  3. Elise M says:

    I have done more than half of them already and i’m only ten.

  4. Emma R says:

    There so many things to do befor you are 11 3/4! I am already 11 1/2! I am hoping to achieve many more of these terrific targets befor I am 11 3/4!

  5. Emma R says:

    My faveriote activity was at PGL due to the fact I was terrified but after my team cheered me on I was able to compleat it! I think one thing you should do befor you are 11 3/4 are be able to sew on a button! Who else has an idea on what other things you should do befor you are 11 3/4, I would love to know!!

  6. Alice C says:

    I have rolled down a vast hill in a local forest a couple weeks ago. I especially remember provoking my sister that I rolled down faster than her! I have done lots more but this is my favorite activity!

  7. Elise M says:

    The only ones I need to do are 13,17,46 and 49 but i hope to get them done well I should do because I will turn 11 next year!

    the ones i missed i havent done
    my favorit one would be 18(balancing on a fallen tree) because it is really scary.

  10. Jake W says:

    Good im not 11 and 3/4 yet as i havent done hardly any of these but they sound really fun.

  11. Isabelle H says:

    I have already do some of the tasks but some are very tricky but I will try my best to do all of them. When we go to PGL I think we might be able to complete.

  12. Maisie W says:

    I have got 24 wich i havent done and i’m turning 11 in october!!! Still have a load of time to complete the rest wich is 26 more to go

    happy easter.

  13. Maisie W says:

    Well Emma i think you should prank 12 people in a day but not the same person (so basicly not your younger sibling all the time)!!!

  14. Ellen W says:

    I don’t know how many I have left to do. Luckly i am only 10 1/3 and still have a while to go and still have several left . I wonder whether i will compleate them or not ? I hope i will .

  15. Alice C says:

    On the way home, I acomplished no.6: Run around in the rain! I had great fun!

  16. Alex W says:

  18. Alice C says:

    I am hoping to complete at least 3 more every day in the weekend. Thank goodness I am only 10! PHEW! A little while left to go to complete them all!

  19. Jasmine P says:

    Wow there are so many things to do!Luckily I have of alot of time to do them because I’m only 9 1/2.

  20. Emma R says:

    I think this is a great idea publishing a list of 50 things to do befor you are 11 and 3/4!!! It is so intreaging what some of these activities are. What is a Geocache? Can someone help me!

  21. G Chloe says:

    I have made a snail race and a lot more! But not all of them.

  22. Liam M says:

    I have completed many of these activities and other things but there is still more to do!

  23. Liam M says:

    I have done many of these activities but there is still more to do! With over a year left until I am 11 and 3 qauters, I know that I can complete all these challenges.

  24. Jasmine L says:

    I think I may have done about 30 or 40 of those things but I am likley to do the others at PGL which will be fab! And a quick question do we actually have to do these things or do you just have to do about 25 or more? If anyone knows please let me know because that will be just fab. Thanks!

  25. Alice C says:

    Miss C, I have a great idea! One of the things is to set up a snail race so we can set up a snail race using bob and one of his friends! We could even do it near the time of the London Olympics so it could be the ‘Snail Olympics’!

  27. Jodie.Qizilbash says:

    I have done most of these things but one thing that i have not done for sure is anything to do with mud because i hate it.I have seen other people skin stones due to the fact that i can not find any right ones. 🙂

  35. Olivia A says:

    I have completed almost 3/4 of the list and forget that I’d done number five. Number nineteen was my favourite because when I swung off the rope swing I landed in a lake and it was really fun ( I was wearing my bikini ! ) I know we’re meant to be answering the questions but I would like to know, what is a geocache ?? An intresting memory hmmm…. This may not be very intresting but I climbed up a tree and my step uncle had to get me down which was quite a challenge for him ! I would like to build a damn I don’t have a reason why I would just like to ! I hope everyone enjoys doing the activities as much as I am, but I have inly got a short amount of time left until I am eleven ( 17 days !! )

  36. Libby J says:

    I have only got eleven more tasks to do and I am not even eleven yet! I think I have a good chance of completing the challenges before I am eleven and 3/4 !
