Two weeks ago we went sailing with Dean. It is a very good sport if you have not tried it before you should have ago at it. Two weeks ago it was for school, for the year sevens and eights. Nathan and I were partners I did the sailing and he did the steering. We left school at nine o’clock. To go forwards you needed to go side ways so you can catch the wind. In the morning there was lots of wind but after lunch it was gone. It was so hard sailing if there was not any wind. That is one of the important things for sailing.

 I believe all children and adults should learn how to swim.

Drowning is the third highest cause of unintentional death in New Zealand. 2008 was a relatively low year statistically with 96 deaths through drowning, whereas in 1998 the figure was 148 people drowned.

Learning how to swim is important because in the summer, it is going to be hot and we need to be safe in or around water.

It is a good exercise for kids and adults; it is easier to learn when you are a child.

 Swimming is a good sport because it uses all your muscles.

Can you think of a muscle that is not being use?

Do you think all kids should learn how to swim as part of their school curriculum?

2.       Take a trip on a steam boat called the Earnslaw.

 A great activity is, from the skyline go up to the chair lift and come down the luge, if you have not heard of a luge it is like a cart that races down the hill
