Sailing

A few lucky students from Room 9, 10 and 7 got to go sailing for the day Okahu Bay. They had a great experience learning new skills and trying something completely different and out of their comfort zones. Below is a piece of writing done by Alyanna which explained her day at sailing. 

On early Thursday we went sailing.

Before we had to go sailing we had to wake up before 8:00 because we weren’t allowed to be late.

Some of the students were almost late, lucky they made it on time before the bus came.

When the bus came, of we went to Okahu Bay.

We needed wetsuits so we won’t get that wet and we also needed a partner to go to sailing.

First thing we did was sail to the end of the bay which was a road I didn’t really understand the name of the road but it was so fun sailing.

My friend and I who went on a sailboat together were struggling a little bit then after a few minutes we got the hang of it.   

We had to follow John and Justin who were the instructors and they were on a speed boat which can fit four students and more. 

At the end after lunch we went to go sailing again and we had to jump out of our sail boat and swim in the water it was fun and also scary but John was looking after the area I was in meanwhile Justine was looking in the other area.

It was so fun and I wanted to stay a little more but we had to go back to school. We received certificates and a sticker it was a super exciting and I liked the part where we had to swim.

     THANK YOU SAILING… HAVE A GO PROGRAM

            IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I HOPE I CAN COME BACK AGAIN.
