During outdoor education week the year 5’s travelled to kayaking in cars. My friends Leah and Laney came in my car. We were all very excited because we were in the first group to go kayaking while the other group went for a walk around the farm with our principal. Once we all had got into wetsuits and warm clothes we were told about how to kayak and what we were going to do for the day. Finally we were told that we could hop into our kayaks and just paddle around. Next we got into groups of 3 or 4 with an Aoraki polytech student for each group. They were experienced kayakers so they told us how to turn a quick corner. Then my group had a competition to see who could turn the fastest corner - I won. Finally we were told we were going to play a game called piano keys. I knew the game they were talking about so I was even more excited. I tried to walk across the front of the kayaks for piano keys and I fell in because Paige made me do the splits. Then it was lunch time and that meant we had to get changed. But wasn’t that bad because it meant after lunch we could go for a walk with Mr. Jury. On the walk we played an awesome game of hide and seek. Sadly it was time to go back to school.
