Surf’s up – During June and July, the Y5/6 went surfing with Hayle based surf school Shore Surf to learn to surf or improve surfing skills and also learn about key water safety messages and what to do if they find themselves in difficulty.
The first sessions had small surf due to glorious weather during June. Nevertheless, all were up and riding and learning key paddling and board manoeuvring skills.
” It was a really good experience and the coaches were really kind to us. ” – Felix.
” It was lots of fun and I caught one of the best waves I have ever caught!” – Ernie
The last two sessions however, we certainly had waves and were tested with over head high conditions. Some were even out back with an instructor but all were up and surfing and enjoying waviest last!
” It was very fun. I caught some good waves.” – Bruce.
” This was my first time surfing and I can now stand up!” – Flo.
Our thanks go to Shore Surf for all the sessions.
On Wednesday, Class 2 enjoyed their first visit inside the new yurt on the school field. The children enjoyed sharing stories with each other as well as listening to a story altogether and even found time for some cloud gazing!
Inside I liked it because it was big and I liked seeing the shapes on the wall. I liked seeing the clouds – they looked like a bunny, a unicorn and a heart! – Aggie
I liked lying and looking up and seeing the clouds. I read Hickory Dickory Dock – Elowen
We’re looking forward to our next visit to the yurt again next week!
