On the 11th of August, 1B went out canoeing along the Yeerung River. Majority of the group had had some sort of experience at canoeing, but there were still a few that had a lack of knowledge. With help from the others, we were all able to successfully paddle along the all the way to the mouth of the river, but only after being taught a few major skills. Although challenging the whole team was able to get through it and enjoy the day. We all kept a positive attitude even when it got tough and kept giving it a go. 1B kept supporting and encouraging each other which showed how much good teamwork we have.

We ended the day with capsizing. Everyone had a go, and although some enjoyed it more than others, due to how cold the water was, we all now understand what to do if we were put in that situation.
