Last Thursday, Room 6 and 7 marched down to Panmure Basin to learn how to sail. We walked a while just to get there Steph, Ellie and Blair were waiting for us to arrive. The day was sunny and warm.
Room 7 went first. They had to push the boat called Optimists out and jumped in to sail. While they were out sailing, we did activities. We learned about pulleys and how to make knots with rope. Then Room 7 came back.
We pushed the Optimists out and started to sail. We followed the speed boat but Ramsey and I got stuck near the rocks. Ellie helped us and Ramsey and I were happy. Now we had to follow Steph and she gave us rubber duckies to catch but I got none. The other students passed duckies to us and we had to pass them to Steph. After that we went to shore.
We helped to push the boats back to the shore and then we all changed into our dry clothes. I was starving so I quickly ate my lunch like a hungry monkey.
It was a long walk back up the hill to school but I enjoyed the day a lot. My legs were so tired but it was all worth it.
I wish that we could go sailing again.
