Kia Ora!
On Wednesday 27th March the Hay Park senior school went to Orewa beach for a fun day including surf lessons. First we packed our bags with snacks, rain jackets and towels. Then Webber class got split and boarded other buses at 8:50. When we took our first look at the bus, we were amazed because It was a fancy VIP bus. Our bus had an AC, seat belts and a toilet!
When we got there we had to take a seat on the grass so that the Instructors could tell us the rules and what we should and shouldn’t do. They also told us to be careful of strong currents and rocks. A few minutes later some of us got changed then went down to the beach to play games with Mrs Patel. We played capture the flag, it was very fun and challenging. Lots of people were very fast I made it a bit far, then I lost, but its okay because we got to play in the hot soft sand. I hated the sun that time because it was burning so we were allowed to go in the water with a supervisor.
Finally it was time for the main activity, surfing. We put on our wet suits and wet shirts then the Instructors taught us how to use our boards and hop on it. We learned the parts of the board like the fins, the leash, the body and head. Then we went into the water and started trying to surf. I didn’t stand on the board, but it was fun when the instructors and parent helpers pushed us on them.
Our last thing to do was change and go to the playground. We changed back into our clothes and played. My friends and I went on the pole and played tag. There were these interesting gym workout activities so we gave them a go. I had fun trying them out because there were lots. Finally it was time to go back to school and 1:50 so we all packed our bags, boarded the bus and went back to school.
I enjoyed writing about the parts of the board!
Bye everyone come back for more posts!
