Year 6 yachting


Yay - it's finally year 6 yachting time!!
We're going next week,on Monday the 28th of March.
The 6's feel excited,nervous, a bit scared, but mostly excited.
We are having lessons for rigging and de-rigging the yacht, and we are getting better every day. There are 2 types of knots. One is the figure of 8 knot and the other is the bowline knot. Our favourite knot is the figure of 8 knot because it is easier than the bowline knot. The yachts we're going in are called the Optimist Yachts.
Some people have already packed the gear we need.
All of us hope that we have a safe trip to Pandora Pond and that the weather isn't too bad for sailing.
