EOTC story

I was so excited for the last day of EOTC week, we were going to the pools. 

Miss Cooper did the roll, then we lined up, while Miss Cooper counted us and we got on the bus. I rushed to get to the end row and sit with Taylor.

When the bus started to move we played sweet and sour. How to play was we waved at random people, if they smiled or waved they are sweet if they don't do anything and they look at you they are sour.

After a lllloooonnnggggg time we finally got to the pools. But we weren't going just yet, we had to eat lunch. I was starving! So we sat on the field just outside the pools to have lunch. We only got 15 minutes! So I scoffed down my food and waited for the other people to finish. There were 2 more minutes left so I went to play on playground.

Now it was time to go in so we walked through the door and there were the pools, there was a outdoor pool and a indoor pool.

The lady briefed us, she said there were three leaders. One talked about pool safety another talked about about beach safety and the last one talked about life jackets.

We first went to beach safety the man asked us to sit on the side of the pool and told us a quiz about rips then he said "you can make a rip" so we jumped in the water and asked us "make a circle" then he asked us to run in one direction really fast, stop running and float and the water dragged us out. After we had finished the man let us have a go on the slide.

Now we moved to the inside pool to do pool safety. We met the girl in the pool. The first thing she said was "how do you get in the pool" Archie said "backwards". That was correct. Next she talked about the best thing to keep afloat she said "eggbeating" so we did that. Next we moved to lifejackets the water was freezing. We met the man and he gave us lifejackets. The lifejacket is cool it makes you float. The man also gave us a challenge to put on our lifejackets in the water. It was hard. Finally it was free time I had so much fun, I went on the water slide I sunbathed and I swam ( a bit! ). After 45 minutes we had to go change back to our uniform so we went to the changing room to change. When we walked back the bus was waiting for us and we got in this time with Roman. 

When we got to school it was home time. So that was the end of the awesome trip to the Onehunga war memorial pool.
