Water Rafting

Water Rafting

Dear vector wero on behalf of glenbrae school I would like to thank you and your crew for being so kind to glenbrae school for letting the year 7&8 go water rafting for free. It was one of the best time of lives and I wish I could come back here again to learn more about how to keep safe inside our raft’s,outside,around waves and how to pull people up into the raft’s safely and sometimes later I could bring my family here to learn about water rafting and more.

Swimming poem

Summer is here so

We're under the sun

In the pools to have some fun
Making splashes is 
Making us happy,but when

Never get angry when we 

Get out we never feel bad because we can go home to relax
