On Wednesday morning we went to Castor bay for EOTC. I was so excited to go kayaking as my second thing but I was also frightened that I might fall off. We went with Room 7 and my group was Motutapu. We had to change into our togs first before we got into the still salty blue sea. We do EOTC because we need to take risks,skills and keep on trying
As we learn how to paddle and use our kayaks I look into the sea and see how far we go. We put our life jackets on and it was finally time to get into the cold water. It was ok at first and then it got even better when we went deeper into the water. I could see red and yellow kayaks,black paddles,people,teachers,the hot sun and rocks on the sand. I could smell the blue sea and peoples sunblock.I got really close to someone then I bumped into them. I could hear people shouting when we were playing with the red ball and trying to hit the teachers kayaks. I could taste victory as I was going further away from my group I needed to turn left so I said “Left left left” and it worked but it was really long and I was using up all of my energy. Next was my favourite part was when we played apple, banana and orange. I had to stand up and go onto someone else’s kayak, it was cool but I was worried and shaking like an unstable table. Next we played follow the leader and we had to follow the parent in a straight line .It was sort of hard but I got the hang of it in 10 seconds.
