Kauri Go to Beach Education

Two weeks ago, Kauri and Rimu were on the bus going to South Brighton beach to learn about rips, beach safety, to be sun smart and to have fun.

When we got to the surf lifesaving club, we were met by Leah, Harry and Cam, young lifeguards who were full of energy. We learned about lots of things about the beach in a humorous way. Brayden nearly drowned inside but got saved by Shukoor.

After that we went down to the beach to play games and swim. The game we played was seagulls and trashcans. The lifeguards got us to make a rip in the sand. The first couple got washed away but then it worked. We learned how to wade into the water, duck dive and body surf. The water drift was very strong.

At the end we had a lot of fun but we were also cold, wet and tired.
