AUT Miliennum trip

This week LS2 went on such a cool trip to AUT Miliennum, we got put into groups and did different activity’s. there were 4 groups, group 1 and 2 did swimming group 1 did kayaking first and group 2 did  water safety then after an 1 hour we swapped side and group 1 did water safety and group 2 did kayaking.

In the first session group 1 did kayaking we were learning what to do If we ever kaped size in a kayake then after learning how to do that we had a little fun swimming around in the kayake and learned how to turn after a little play around  we got told to go to the other side of the pool and we were learning what people do if they wanna have lunch or talk together. after all of the kayaking we swapped with group 2 and learned about water safety.

We first learned how to do a huddle before entering and in the water then we had to do something called the buddie survival were 1 person was on 1 side and the other had to rescue you then we did abit more huddling and buddie skills we were learning how to enter an inflatable boat and we also got taught how to safely fall of the baot then we did this thing were 2 people grabbed onto 1 persons life jacket then we had to pull them up. after all of that we were finished with our swimming session and we got changed and had some lunch for a couple minutes, after our lunch we got ready for our next session.

Our  next session was rockclimding and running. Again group 1 and 2 got split up, group 1 first went to rockclimding and group 2 went to running. Group 1 first sat down on a white safety mat so we could listen to what we had to do. The Staff ask for 6 volunteers 3 girls and 3 boys, the  3 girls were Reign, Unique and me and we got different parts to do, there had to be a climber a B-layer which was someone who had to hold on to the robe and control the climber coming down with a brake then there was someone call a smiley that person had to make sure the B-layer had the rope in control, after a little bit of demanstration the rest of people got into groups of 3 and had some fun on the walls once every one had 1 or 2 turns on a wall we got to switch with one of the groups.

After some climbing we swapped with group 2 and did some running. We lined up to go outside once we were outside we did abit of stretching then we got to run 500 milles it was so tiring, then after the 500 miles we played a little game after the game we went back inside and played some more games before our running started, after our games we played one more game to get us ready for the running at the end of the the session, that game was called electric fence. after every thing we did our last thing of the day witch was a relay race we played 2 rounds then we finished and went to the main room.

After everything we said our thank you and went out side to our bus to go back to school. This was .such a fun day and would 100% do it again.
