Room 39's Trip to Waimarino

On Friday 24 February Room 39 & Room 40 went to Waimarino Adventure park for a school trip. While we were kayaking we had to stand up on the kayaks. We also had to sit on the front and back of it to paddle and we had to swap kayaks with a buddy.   It was difficult and kind of scary... most of us fell off!  We learnt how to get back into the kayak if we fell out and we had to do that 3 times!!!!! It is also known as a T rescue. A T rescue is when a person in another kayak lifts the kayak onto their kayak and tips out the water. Here is a slide of Our time at Waimarino.

Waimarino Adventure Park

 What a fantastic day we had at Waimarino Adventure Park.  We improved our kayaking skills by rafting up, doing deep water rescues, as well as swapping kayaks and doing 'wheelies'.  The water was refreshingly chilly and the fact it rained didn't stop Room 39.  We didn't manage to capture our kayaking on camera, but we did get photos of the afternoon's land activities.
