Last week on Thursday we went down to the north beach for the whole day to learn about the beach and about lifeguards and what they do and all that stuff. We also at the end got to swim in the sea with boogie boards. The Instructors names were: Jem, Ben, Annie and Emma.
The first thing we did when we got there was to learn about the objects that they use to save lives.
After learning about that we learnt about the IRB (Inflatable rescue boat). The IRB had all sorts of stuff on it like a wedged knife just in case seaweed gets caught in the motor.
Then once we did all that stuff we had to make a skit about one of the rules they taught us:
- Never swim alone
- Swim between the flags
- If you get caught in a RIP Rest, Raise and Ride
- If in doubt stay out!
- Call 111 (police) if there are no no life guards around
- Slip on rash tops, Slap on sunscreen , Slop on a hat, Wrap on sunglasses, Seek for shelter
(We did If in doubt stay out).
We also did Beach games like who can dig the deepest hole and who can make the highest mountain of sand. It was fun.
When we finished everything we finally got to swim in the sea!
What do you think?
Would you like to do all this? Why?
