E.O.T.C Recount

Kayaking

On Wednesday morning we went to Castor Bay. I was really excited to do Kayaking because I had not done it in for a long time. I could see all the Kayaks lined up. They were red and yellow and some were blending together. Our group was called Rangitoto we were with room 7 a year 5 and 6 class. We did E.O.T.C because to learn new things outside.

There were people who  gave the instructions to us how to hold a paddle and use it. They told us how to sit in a kayak and help us put life jackets on to keep safe.  You could smell sewage water near you. Owen told us to pick a kayak and push it down into the water. The kayak that I had was yellow, you could see the sun shining so bright and hot at the same time.

We started to paddle our kayaks into the sea. We all had to come together and play a game we had a fruit name I was orange.  Orange was called out so we had to stand up on our kayak  and do head shoulders knees and toes, I was thinking that I would fall off. I was glad that I  didn't but when we got called out again we had to switch kayaks.

 I was about to go to Dorothy’s kayak then I had no balance and fell in the water it was so cold I could taste salt water in my mouth at the same time people were laughing at me. I got pulled onto my kayak then we started to paddle near the land I was soaking wet.My paddle was splashing me and there were no waves.We had to go to land because we were finished I really enjoyed kayaking.
