Waimarino

Yesterday room 41 & 42 went on a trip to Waimarino for the day. We arrived there and room 41 did kayaking first. We get shown how to put the buoyancy aid on and how to hold the paddle. We spent 2 hours nearly on the water kayaking. We all rafted up, which means you join all the kayaks to make a circle. We played cat and mouse. The water was very chilly! Sharnae, Lauren and I stood up and paddled and all of us fell in. Sharnae fell in the most.

We came back to Waimarino and had lunch. Now the land activities/water activities. I did the water slide twice but the second time I choked on the water. I was to chicken to jump off the high dive. I went on the UFO which is a trampoline on water and there was a mini blob on it which I did. But we had three people on it with Hoani, Nicole and I and then Hoani has to push us off. Sharnae got double blobed by Felila and Milly.

I think other schools should go there because... It is a great experience you learn how to T rescue and how to kayak. Also you are having fun but learning at the same time.
