On Friday morning 4th of March the Year Fives went at 7:30 to Red Beach to learn about water safety. The lifeguard that our class had was called Nick.

Everyone got changed had a snack and then we got shown around.  Everyone got to see the quad bike.  The IRB is used to rescue people from drowning and to rescue them from a place out at sea and to bring them to shore.   The red and yellow flags  are where you are supposed to swim in between.

We had a few beach games like running together.  Then we had free time in the water.  Everyone jumped the waves which were massive waves that I body-surfed up to shore. There were waves one and a half metres tall.  Then after that we were told important things that people need to know.  We had a rip safety diagram to learn about rips. Then we were on our way back to school. I fell asleep in the bus.  Red Beach was fun.
