Mālō bloggers,
Earlier in Week 7, the Year 4 and 5 students of Te Waka Ako went for a school trip to Muriwai Beach. We were really excited as this was the first trip since Covid began and we knew it was going to be a fun time!
We arrived at the Life-Saving Club in Muriwai and were exposed to lots of important messages about keeping ourselves safe at the beach. We learned how to recognise a rip, what to do if we were stuck in one and why it is a good idea to swim between the flags.
We also got to check out all the interesting gear and fascinating vehicles Life-guards use when patrolling beaches in Aotearoa.
Finally, we went down to the beach and got struck by torrential rain. It was pouring! We got just as wet in the water as we did on land but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. There was boogeyboarding, body surfing and lots of tumbles. We showed lots of resilience and didn’t let the crazy weather stop us from making awesome memories!
By the time we got back to school, we were exhausted. We had a great time!
What fun memories do you have of going to the beach?
Hola, my name is Madeleine and I am in Waitemata at Waikowhai Primary School. I really liked your post about the year 5’s trip to Muriwai Beach.

Kia Ora, It’s Lily from room Waitemata. It looks like you had a wonderful time and enjoyed it as much as possible. I love how you have added so many photos it feel like I’m at the beach just looking at them. I remember when I went to Muriwai beach and I was asking my mum had to keep a good eye on us because the waves were massive and the currents and rips were so strong. I was even making holes in the sand from the water being so strong. Thanks for sharing you learning and how much fun you had.

It’s Vivian from Waitemata, I really loved the way you arranged the pictures also liked how you wrote about the main parts. I found it very easy to read because it was simple and there wasn’t a lot of words. One of the fun meriones the I had was having a collecting shells race on the beach.

Kia ora Te Waka Ako. Muriwai! I live in Muriwai… how cool is it? I’m glad you learnt how to keep yourself safe in the water. The waves are pretty big and the undercurrents are pretty strong. It’s awesome to see all your positive, thoughtful and helpful comments too (and links to your own blogs).
