Vector Wero Water Park

Today Panmure Bridge was lucky to be funded by Vector Wero Whitewater Park, but we were to give in $5 each to be part of this activity. There were only year 7 & 8 who had the chance to do a rafting course which was pretty amazing. Before doing anything we were to watch a safety video explaining what we need for the course and how to help someone who's in danger in the water. After that we all put on all our swim suits, helmet, life jacket, and a jacket. We also received a paddle. Soon, we got into group of 6 and each group had an instructor. In my group I had Ofa, Joseph, San Kyaw, Joshua W, Freeman, Tim (instructor), and I. Tim did a little talk about how to stay safe in the water and answered some of our questions. Then it was time for the ultimate rafting course. When we first hoped into our raft we learnt how to paddle forward, backwards, and also how to turn the raft. I also learnt that to make the boat go steady and fast your group has to paddle at the same time. There were two parts of this whole activity: one where you go on your raft around the whole river and the other where you jump onto the water and let the river flow you. My favorite parts was the second because you got to feel how roughed the river was. A big thank you to Vector Wero Whitewater Park for giving us this amazing opportunity and also Mrs Morris for taking and supervising us.
