A short session today practicing leading games

Not quite the weather we were after, but we had a good time on the water playing many, many games back to back and fitted a lot into a short session

L6 Kayak rescue practice in the pool

 

This afternoon the L6 students practised rescues in the warm of the pool before practising them outside after half term.

Today the L6 Students practiced some kayaking strokes before having lunch in the group shelter and spending the afternoon capsizing

Second year Paddle Games

 

 

For our first session we went to Alder Lake  to remember how the boats work and to practice games ahead of the Grand Day Out with the lower school.

 

 

Racing kayaks at Newton Ferrers

 

Sunshine but a little wind greeted the Deputy Head who came out today for our first foray this term with the racing boats, we only had one fall in - remarkably still managing to keep his hair dry!

Paddling

 

This evening the Outdoor Ed club ventured around Hooe Lake, exploring, playing games and splashing each other!

First Paddle of the Summer for the Paddling Club

 

 

All the students did very well even though the wind did its best to blow us to Kingsand, but we managed to find some shelter in the end. We looked at the different types of boats we will be using in the term and practiced falling out of them! All looking forwards to the Sea Kayak trip next week...
