Wero Whitewater Trip no. 2

Today was our third trip of the year! We had the chance to go back to Wero Whitewater Park and try out kayaking.

When we got on water the first thing I did was almost tip over. We had spent a few minutes hanging around the beginning trying to get used to paddling. In that time more than five people had fallen overboard. 

Once it was time to paddle to the other side of the course, a bunch more kids fell. We had to go through minor obstacles. When we arrived to the other side there were a few kids still struggling so we had to wait for them. In the meantime the rest of us were paddling around in a circle.

Our last task was to get back to the beginning and for no one to fall over.

At the start of the week I hadn't expected kayaking to be this fun. I thoroughly enjoyed this session.

Wero Whitewater Trip

Last week Friday, Room 12 got to go on their kayaking trip. 

When our lesson began we started with organising groups. Some had six and others had seven. Next we talked about river safety. Moving on from that, we finally hopped into a raft and started paddling. We went around the course, trying to get comfortable with paddling. 

After our first lap my group decided to make our raft spin around the rushing river. We were bumping into walls and another group. When we collided with the other group, Peni (their member) fell out. That resulted in laughs. I think I was crying. 

Many laughs later we moved onto swimming down the river. There were two groups, those who wanted to float down the small fall and those who chose the big fall. I chose the small fall.

I had a bunch of fun and hope to go again.
