My Weekend

After manual on Friday I went to Uncle Graham and Aunty Sue’s house. Aunty Sue, Revelin, and I dove into town and picked up my sister Sarah from high School. On Saturday all Sarah, Revelin, and I did was play on the wii, a wii is a game like a play station. On the wii we played tennis and I got a sore arm because you hold a hand sized remote in your hand and swing it like a real tennis racket and the bobble person on the Television hits it at the same time. Sarah and I stayed at Aunty Sue and Uncle Graham’s all weekend, we had loads of fun.

Water Safty

“Brrrrr” I’m trying to get warm after a chilly dip in the river. It’s a sunny day at river safety and we’re learning lots! So far we have looked at the different parts of the river, dangerous and nondangous. The safest place to swim in a river is an Eddy. Eddies are a slow flowing area where the water has veered off the e main current and circled back around into the current. We have been practicing floating feet first down the river. We have tried many different techniques for floating with objects such as a rugby ball, a bucket and a coke bottle. The ball worked the best. We are now heading to do some river crossing further up river. We’re all having so much fun at TOPEC for river safety.
