Muriwai Beach Education Day

On the 21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd of February years 5 and 6 had Beach Education Day at Muriwai Beach. We learnt how to spot rips, how to be sun and water smart and we also learnt the S, S, S, W, S, S, S, and S. It stands for Slip, Slop, Slap, Wrap, Slide, Step, Slurp, and Smear. After that the students went down to the beach and had a little swim with the lifeguards, teachers and parents. Some students practised life-saving skills with a red rescue tube. Laura from Room 2 said, “I think it was really exciting and adventurous and I also learnt lots.”
