Surf Life Saving
On Friday the 13th of March, everyone in Te Moana and Te Maunga slowly went down to the beach.We went to go see three young men that taught Paihia School about surf safe. Their names were Sam,Toobs and Liam. We have nicknames for them. Sam’s nickname is ice cream because when he is being a life saver he get too hot and he wants a ice cream. Toobs name is tea cause he loves tea.Last but not least Liam likes coffee so his nickname is coffee.
Firstly we sat down quietly down on the soft grass while all three lifeguards told us really, really, really good rules that we had to listen to them when we are playing down on the beach.
Secondly we walked down as fast as a cat walking out of a door. Then Liam said, “Can you split into your classrooms please,” and we split straight away. The first game we played was with four leaders and then Liam put us into a group. I was in group 3 and Zara was in group 2. My leader was Franky.
This is how we played we split our groups in half. One half of the group went down to the other end of the beach where Sam and Toobs were. We played someone rescued us and pulled us back like we are in the water.
Thirdly Sam got the parents to go into the water. The second game we played was we had to put our legs together and put our hand on top of each other and Sam would say, “head up or head down.” Then he would say “GO!” and then we would go and grab a piece of cut hose every time. Only once I didn’t and then some other kids didn’t.Then we watched them and we set out the pieces of cut hose.
Fourthly we had morning tea. For lunch I had some fruit and a half a slice of my sandwich. Then we went back to Sam he said we are going to swim and high fived an adult and swim back.Then the next kid will go.
Later we went to Toobs and got into a group of 4. My group was Zara, Imogen, and Angela. Zara and I would go in then would go out into the water and pretend that we are pretending to drown. It was such a good day and we learnt so much.
