Secondary Swimming Carnival

Beach fun!

At times we all receive a curve ball. This year the recipient was the Primary Swimming Carnival. So instead, we had a Beach Carnival at Koombana Bay.

It was amazing! Not only great fun but physically very active on the beach and in the water. Absolutely non-stop fun and games for one hour. Class cohorts were kept separate to fit within the guidelines at the time. Mr Kavanagh and Ms Jenkin co-ordinated one group while Mr Murray and I another other group. Activities varied from running in the water, beach flags, swimming and iron man events, to board paddling and ‘echidna’, which involved the students crawling around on the sand and when the whistle is blown, closing their eyes and crawling up like an echidna in a defensive position. Then, one person is covered with a towel and everyone tries to work out who is covered. Not as easy as you think and great fun when you are wet while the sand is warm.

Hopefully, we will only repeat this day if we want to and not because of a curve ball that we cannot control. However, if we have to, I for one would be very happy. It was a sensational day!
