Today at Ardmay, group 5, went canoeing. 2 canoes were put together to make one stable raft.We were mainly focusing on practicing the basic skills. Turning, accelerating and trying to keep the boat steady. After that we did races between group 5 split into two halves. A lot of people fell over by trying to use the oars in the fastest way possible. After the races everyone wanted to play a game. The game chosen got everyone fired up. We played the game in the same teams for races and each team wanted to win. The game was for each boat to defend a slipway each whilst at the same time trying to get a hoop, which was thrown in between each slipway, and each team had to get the hoop to the opponents slipway. A person in one group, Amelie reached too far, in attempt to get the hoop, and fell completely overboard. So canoeing was fun for everyone. Hopefully.

One of the teams got swept away to sea because of high currents as we were trying to get back to shore.
