SURFING

On Monday 23rd March the Year 7/8s of Rimu Class went to Sumner Beach for our first William Pike Challenge Award. I found standing up for the first time challenging. 

I heard the waves crash as they came out to shore .

I heard the waves tumbling over one another .

I heard the sound of dogs barking .

I heard babies in laughter .

I saw a cargo ship in the thin air .

I smelt the salty water in the air  .

When catching the waves it feels like you're on a full blast roller coaster and then it wears off for a while .

I felt like I was wobbling on jelly when I  stood up on the board .  

My muscles relax while the class does a stretch and a practice of how to get up .
