Campweek Kayaking

During camp week the year 5 children went kayaking at the Waihao River. I was in the first group to go kayaking. It was fun. We had to learn to forward paddle and then back paddle. After morning tea we played some games in our kayaks. The first game was sharks and minnows where you have to touch someone else’s boat with your hand. When nearly every one was a shark we started to play fruit salad. That’s where if you’re in a yellow kayak you’re a banana, if you’re in an orange kayak you’re an orange and if you’re in a black kayak you’re a blackberry. If the leaders call your fruit they say what crazy thing you have to do like standing up in your boat and yelling something. By Michaela
