Millenium Centre Kayaking and Life Saving Videos

Hi Everyone

Due to the large amount of videos I shot during the Life Saving and Kayaking sessions (x13) and trying to get all my children on our blog I have not labelled them all as there are often more than 1 child in each video.

I hope you enjoy going through the videos they are around a minute long each....see if you can spot your child!!!

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves including my wonderful Dads, Mike (Lily's Dad), Graham (Sophie's Dad), Aden (Lauren's Dad), Glen (Ryan's Dad). A big thank you from Room 16 children and Whaea.  Also a special thank you to Matt (Kobi's Dad) who supported R20.  You Dads rock!!  

No doubt everyone children, Dads, and Whaea had a well deserved sleep last night!!!!!

Also a special thanks to the Instructors of the Millenium Centre, another successful year.

To my children in Room 16, Whaea is so so proud of you all especially to those who were a wee bit scared....you did well and gave everything a go....Kapai to mahi.

Have a safe Easter and see you all next Thursday - yaaay more learning to do!!

Nga mihi nui

On the way home

We are now on our way home from the Millennium Centre.
Room 16 children are tired but can't stop talking.  Rajeev said it was the most "fun-est" day,  Sophie added "EVER!"
Thank you everyone for following our posts of our awesome day.

Group 3 Life Saving

On with our life jackets learning all the different positions to save someone.
The huddle was a good one.
Then along came the boat.  We all got in then went over the side.  The hard part was getting back in the boat.
Saving people was cool

Group 4 Canoeing

Life Jackets on, paddles in hand, and learning some moves.

Group 4 Snorkeling

Group 4 went through the same process of fitting flippers snorkels and masks.  By the time I got there the children were in the pool swimming yaayyy!
Then off came the jackets!!

Group 3 Snorkeling

Our first activity snorkeling.
First getting kitted with flippers snorkel and mask and away they went.
Omg Whaea panicked when they wanted to take their life jackets off but they did it!  All but 2 without life jackets fun fun fun!
Then off to team building we go.
