The day riddled with sun, today was the day to go to the beach finally it has come. The vans were ignited and the engines started to roar. We headed through Otaki with happy or dull expressions. Lee explained how we were the best group; that she had taken in the van. The beach was nearing; my excitement couldn't be explained even if I tried.
In a bundle the vans came to a full stop, we headed out of the van and meet the lifeguards. They introduced them as Cassie, Sophrose and Lisa. After the lifeguards intrigued us with their names, we followed them towards the stairs and later to the top floor. When we reached the top they told us about CPR and IRB boats. CPR was taught by showing us the positions and teaching us the ratios.
Finally we finished the CPR procedures and were headed down to the beach. First we grabbed a glove and a bag to find rubbish. Then we all walked the beach which was awesome in its own way. We ended up gathering a whole lot of rubbish from the beach and ultimately dumping it. While doing that I realised how great it was to clean the beach.
The time had come to swim, but we did a few challenges before that. First was the wheatbix challenge. So how we did that was the first one to finish eating a dry bit of wheatbix wins. It might sound easy but the dry wheatbix sticking to the top bottom and sides of your teeth sucks. I didn't get near winning because I quit after one crusty as bite.
For the second we built a human tower/pyramid. For starters we arranged the group of people into groups like the people at the bottom, middle and top. then we put them in to play. The group that was gunning for first place failed to win but now we have the memory.
Last but not the least it was the famous chubby bunny challenge. There weren't that much marshmallows so there were a bunch of victors. But for the thing we have all been waiting for is going on hold because we had to each lunch but then we finally went to the water.
Swimming was great and it also introduced a lifeguard we had all seen before, introducing Damien Doyle lifeguard mode.
IRB time after Damien arrived he took me and Sophrose out to the water. I was the rescue dummy basically, they took me out and dropped me off. Then they came back to rescue me. It was really fun which meant I enjoyed the trip and one day I hope to ride one of the boats again.
Good work cuzzy you have achived the WALT
