Year 7 Snorkeling Trip

 The year sevens are super lucky this year! Usually they stay at school while the year eights go to camp, but this year they are heading to Goat Island for a snorkelling trip! This is being provided by Experiencing Marine Reserves and Whitebait Connection. We are enjoying some awesome science lessons with them as well as our snorkelling lessons and experiences. 

This video shows our first snorkelling lesson!

    1. Hello Katana! It was actually fun because we got to learn a new skill. It was cool to swim in flippers and snorkels. It was tricky but fun.

    1. Hi Sydney! It was hard at first because we were learning how to blow water our of our snorkels and how to breathe under-water. Soon it got a little bit easier. After all that we went snorkelling out in the ocean. From Finau:)

    3. Hi Tane & Ryan! It was pretty hard to keep the water out of our tubes and breathe under water. It was getting a little it easier as we went, if you listen to the instructions, it will be easy and you will be fine. From Finau:)

    1. Hello Sina! Thanks for commenting on our class blog. Yes, it was pretty cool. Well, from my perspective, it was very scary because we were going out in the deep ocean (after swimming in the pool) but it was okay because we had boards with us and wet suits that made us float. From Finau:)
