What an afternoon! The P4′s and 5′s set off for Musselburgh Lagoon for a fun filled afternoon of water sports. Little did we all know that the wind would play a huge part in the events of the day. The outdoor education instructors Anthony and Martyn were fantastic, they taught us all lots about sailing and canoeing. The girls decided that canoeing was the water sport for them, and so set off ahead of the boys who were preparing their sail boat. The boys were very excited about their sailing but had to learn about turning in the boat to help them catch the wind properly. Disaster struck for both groups. The wind caught the boys… and they capsized into the freezing cold water (Miss Wood had to giggle!!!!!) The boys were super sports and lauged about it too, infact it was the highlight of their day. The girls too, got stuck in their canoe and had to abandon them to the shore- they had great fun playing games to help them with their canoe skills before returning to the canoe! It was a fantastic day- ending with everyone jumping into the lagoon!!!
