Surfing

In week 4 many schools gathered to go surfing at Waikuku Beach. We went there to go surfing and boggie boarding. It was a roasting hot day although the waves were frezzing cold. It was very hard surfing becasue of the crashing waves splashing down on us.

Beach Education

A while ago we went  on a whole school trip to Waikuku Beach! When we came back we wrote recounts. We've been a bit slow putting them up here but here  is one now.

On Thursday the 9^th of February 2012 Waikari School went to Waikuku Beach in cars.

 When we got there we rushed inside to put our bags away in little cupboards finally we went up the steps to meet the three lifeguards their names where Chris, Dan and Nic. We talked a little bit about sun-safe. After a while we had morning tea.  Next we talked a lot more about surf safety. We got split into groups like rm 1 and rm 2 and 3 when we played games and the role of a lifeguard. Afterwards it was lunch time. We came back and did some awesome sand sculptures and castle making competition. Fifteen minutes later we got called in to get changed into our togs and get a boogie board to go into the water. We waited to go on the big huge waves. I got soaking wet when it was time to go home.
