Optimist yachting on Wednesday

"Watch out we are about to tip". The yacht was filling with water and we were tipping to the right side more, I was trying to lean so it would even the yacht out but know it decided to tip us in the water thank godsends the motor boat and a parent in the kayak came to help us. As for me and my buddy when we got back to shore we were drenched and freezing cold, people I walked passed were like did you capsize did you really. " Um yes, that's our boat floating away out there see I couldn't get it to flip over, so guess what it floated away." After a while the yacht had been picked up and bought to shore. That is my story of a capsize it was really fun however my buddy was a bit to cold in the end so she didn't come back to school, I hope she is alright.

Optimist Yachting

As I stepped on the pahi (bus) I said wow what a flash bus we should of had that bus when we went to Palmerston North.

Any way when we arrived at Pandora pond there to greet as was Mr Ford and Miss Hill. My class was kayaking first. I got to be by myself in the kayak. When we went under the bridge I was a bit nervous because my paddle kept hitting the top of the bridge and when I went to lie down I went a different direction.  When we came back however a girl capsized and I went to help her but when she hopped on my kayak it started to wiggle and then we flipped in. I quite enjoyed getting drenched. 

When we got on the yacht I started to get cold  because the wind was blowing. I thought yachting was quite challenging because I didn't know when to stare but luckily my buddy knew the trick. I cant wait to come back tomorrow and see what exiting things the teachers have planed.   

Riverdale sport exchange in Palmerston North

As we approached the bus I thought to myself, "Check out that bus" I muttered to my dad who was driving me to school that morning.

Sophia and I sat on the seats behind the toilet, wasn't a great choice as people decided to give us grief for sitting there. Sophia and I were happy however as we joked and laughed with Krya, Bree, Emma, Leilani and Poppy.

Keeping on the toilet theme, the toilets in Woodville were disgusting! There we practiced Tutira Mai Nga Iwi and the boys practiced the Haka. We sounded good.

Back on the bus called Mr D. Sophia and I sang songs on the bus and video ourselves doing it. It was a crack up.

When we arrived, we were met by 3 students from Riverdale, who introduced themselves and led us to the hall. We were greeted by their Principal and then Mr D replied.

Soon we were in our sports uniforms and on the court ready to play. I played centre. I found it challenging as my opponent was a lot taller than me and very skilled. Dam she was good. During the game I needed water, as I took a drink I realised their water was fowl, it tasted like chlorine.

It was a draw 10 all. I made a new friend and overall what an amazing experience.

We got back on the bus and went to the pools. Apparantly, it was meant to be the best pools in the North Island....it wasn't.

We arrived home at about 5ish and Helen was there to pick Conor and I up. We had pizza for tea and I told mum all about my day.

I loved it because it was my first trip away with  my new School. I would like to say congratulations to all the others who went to Riverdale today as everyone represented Parkvale with Pride.
