These were going to be our tent rooms but we didn't go camping because of bad weather.

There was 2 jumps 1 for shallow water and 1 for deep water.
The one for shallow water was technically a belly flop and the one for deep water was a jump when you cross your arms like an Egyptian mummy and jumped in like a pencil.

Kate E's group got a test swim in the water to get used to it.
They swam to a rock to get ready for their first jump. The people in Kate E's group shouted thing as the jumped in such as   "Tire marks tire marks!", "Lets go bowling!", "21!" "Watermelon!"

They went in a cave a explored for a few minutes. Zoe didn't enjoy this because she needed the toilet! This is a quote from Lucy who was in Kate E's group, "I liked it because we got to do a belly flop and just swim in the sea I would love to do again!"

We got to learn about different sea creatures. For example, we learnt that the teeth on the limpet is called the rasping radula.We got to squeeze limpets and  water  came out a hole in the top of the limpet.

Then we walked up the hills to the buses. We were soaking wet. The boys got changed it the blue bus and the girls got changed in the trailer. Overall, it was so fun and we would all do it again in a heartbeat. "Hoy was one of the best things I have done in my life!" said Zoe
