Beach Education @ Kaka Point

On Monday we went to Kaka Point for Beach Education. We learnt how to swim in the sea safely and how to recognise a rip. We played some games in the sand, made sand sculptures and had swim in the sea with the adults.
We learnt how to be sun smart with the tongue twister - see if you can beat Mrs Hyslop at it - it takes her only 5 secs.
Sun smart Sam says, slip, slop, slap, wrap, slurp, slide in the summertime.

We did a role play on how to recognise rips and what to do if you get caught in one.

We learnt the ten rules on how to stay safe at the beach, they are:

• Never swim alone  
• Learn to recognise rip
• Listen to the lifeguards  
• Respect other surf users
• Use the right equipment
• Know your limits
• Be prepared
• Swim between the flags
• Never swim without an adult
• Be sunsmart

It was an awesome day at the beach, we learnt heaps and can't wait to go next time!
