On Wednesday the year 5s went in cars to kayaking. I went in Kayla’s mum’s car. When we arrived at the Waihao River we got into groups of 1 and 2. I was number 1, yeah, so I got to go first at kayaking. There were some polytech people there. They talked to us about putting our lifejackets and helmets on and some other stuff. Then we put on our lifejackets and our helmets. We chose a kayak - my kayak was red. Then we got into a kayak and the polytech people pushed our kayaks into the water. First we had to practise how to paddle in the water so one of the polytech people showed me how. After that we played some games. My favourite game was piano keys. You had to stand up in the kayaks and walk across them. I fell in the water. The water was super freezing. Then it was time to hop out of our kayaks and get changed into some warm clothes.
After we got changed we went with Mr Jury for a walk. We played hide and go seek - that was fun. Then we walked back to see group 2 in their kayaks. When they had finished they got back in their clothes and then we got into cars and went back to school.
I really hope I can go kayaking again. It was so much fun.
