I had a whole lot of fun yesterday. First, we learnt the safety and how to put on our pdf (personal floating devise) then once Mr. Johnson was on the water it was fine for myself and our expo team to get on the water along with Bailey.  We learnt a few strokes and how to raft up, and then we went for a relaxing cruse down the river. We came across a tree fallen over and we ducked under whilst in the canoes and that was great. We came across another tree that wasn’t as great but Bailey got under, then Faith and I. In the mean while Aimee and Maddison capsized and fell in the water. Due to them being wet we all decided it was best to go back to where we first started off so we went under the trees again.  By now it was time for Faith and me to capsize. We put our hands up because we thought it would be fun and we would be okay, but the time came when we ended up in the water shivering and I lost a water shoe. But it all turned out okay because Faith and I got ‘rescued’ by our team and then we paddled back quickly, got warm, stood in the sun and changed. It was a very good day and our team worked well with every part of the canoe experience. I can’t wait to see what happens at expo when we all go canoeing, let’s just hope no one falls in or capsizes their canoe along with their partner.
