Today we went to Fairlop Waters to take part in sailing activities.
The children felt a mixture of feelings, some of excitement, anticipation and fear!
On the way to Fairlop Waters, there were many questions and discussion about falling in the water! When we arrived at Fairlop Waters, we were met by Georgie, Chris and Mike, our instructors for the day. They spoke to us about safety and what we would be doing throughout the day. Once we had changed into our wet suits, we were given instructions to rig up the sail and place the udder in the correct position. We were then left on our own to steer the boat from one end of the lake to the other. We all did very well and managed to stay on course!
At the end of the day, there was time left for us to enjoy a ride in the speed boat. It was a great day, as you can see from the pictures below. We can't wait to return there on Thursday!!

Another great day by the looks of it. Michael- I can't believe you got to ride in the speedboat!!
