In maths today we learnt about 2-D and 3-D shapes and we were given an isometric sheet especially for drawing cubes and rectangular

On Thursday rm13 and rm12 walked to St Clair Surf Life Saving Club.

Firstly we walked inside the clubhouse and put our bags full of swimming gear on the hooks in the changing room then sat on the mat.

Then we had a really long speech on how to keep safe.

Next we had a break and ate some food and went to the park to play.

After that we went inside and had another long break and learnt about the most appropriate clothes to wear to the beach.

Finally we went outside to the beach and played follow the leader. A few minutes later we ran in to the water and had a swim around and I was getting bowled over by massive waves.

To conclude the most exiting part of the day was getting bowled over by the colossal waves sometimes I wish I could do it every single day instead of boring school work

the Thursday we set of to beach Ed. When we got there, there were 3 life guards waiting for us. Then all room 13 and 12 tired kids walked in with there bogie boards to the changing rooms to put our stuff down. The lifeguards led us into a room with a little mat to sit and a TV to watch about being sun smart and the ten safety rules extra... We stared of by watching a DVD about being sun smart. Then we dressed up Bob in some sun smart clothes. After that we had some morning tea and a played in the playground. When we came in they showed us the first aid room

we got to see the oxygen tanks, all about their I.R.Bs and the old fashion boats, which had no motor just pedals. We learned the 10 safety rules. Then we dressed up one of the Kids as a lifeguard. After that we went down to the beach for the rest of the day we played games and had a swim. Mr Hunter took photos but after a lovely day it was time to leave this wonderful journey with heaps to add in the future.

On Thursday the 11 of February, rooms 13 and 12 walked down to St Clair beach for beach Ed. while the tired hauled boogie boards and bags, up the ramp to St Clair beach, where the lifeguards were already waiting for them. The lifeguards led them inside and the learning began.

We got underway by watching a DVD about being sun smart, and then we dressed Bob to make him sun smart. So then we had some yummy morning tea and went to play. W hen we came in they rounded us up and showed us round the hole clubhouse, we got to see the oxygen tanks

and the I.R.B 's and then we leant about rip currents. After that we went out for a second interval, and then we put on our swimming gear ran down to the beach. Before we went swimming we played octopus and built sandcastles, then it was time,we sprinted out to the surf we knelled, sat

and even lay down. But then we got our boogie boards and sprinted out into the waves while Mr Hunter took photos of us riding back. But sadly the time came when we had to leave. When we got back every one raced to there parents and told them about about there wonderful day.
