Hello boys and Girls,
Last week on Friday the years sixes and year fives went surfing for EOTC Week. We went surfing on Sumner beach. We had three buses. We were in this really cool bus with curtains and a air con. When we got there we had to put on our togs and get our wet suits on. It was really hard to put on so our instructors helped us. When all of our wet suits were on the instructors taught us how to be safe when surfing and when there's a earthquake.
When we got onto the beach the instructors taught us how to stand on the board and how we lie down on the board. Then we got in the water and looked for big waves to catch. I saw a huge wave so I turned my board around and started to paddle. When the wave hit me I was riding the wave. I tried to stand up but I fell off into the water. I caught a couple waves but they were quite small ones.
Then we had to get out of the water because there was a big rip I think. We waited on the sand then a siren went off. We thought it was a tsunami siren but it was a siren for the rip I think. Then we left the beach and had a shower. we had to take off our wet suits. When they were off we had to get out of our togs so we went to the changes rooms and got dressed into our clothes.
Then we had lunch. We had fish and chips. There was so much fish and chips. I had a fish, It was really yummy. After we had lunch we could play on the beach but we couldn't go into the water. We played touch on the beach and it was really fun. After that we found a crab. It was pretty big.
