What a fantastic day Te Pihinga and Te Kakano had at Beach Education today. It was a beautiful day and the beach was sparkling. Everyone was very excited to be going on a bus and going to the beach. I think the parents and teachers were as well, from their big smiles.
We spent some time learning about beach and water safety from our lovely lifeguards. Alexia got to be a mini lifeguard and rescue Louis.
Finally it was time for togs and to get in the water. There aren't any photos of us in the water because we were all having too much fun. The adults who were in the water were very impressed with the way all the children were so brave in getting into the water. Many of them tried going out further than they would have normally and there was a lot of squealing and delight on all the children's faces. Mr Robertson also had a lot of fun, surfing the ways like a professional.
After lunch we played Fruit Salad and then built sandcastles on the sand. There were some amazing creations.
Then sadly, it was time to get our bags, get on the bus and go back to school But it was a really wonderful day.
