Rotation 2: 
On the second rotation there was a trampoline to jump. Then we had to do a backwards roll on the soft ramp. With our hands by our head loooking like we are holding 2 pizza in our hand. After that we had to do a scorpion handstands. And lastly there was another trampoline that we had to jump on it and do a spin.

Rotation 3:    
On our last rotation we had to do a handstand on the wall with a bar on the floor. Then we had to do the back/side/front rotation on a shape. before the parallel bars is when you have to life yourself up onto the bars.

I found the stretches difficult.

moon, and sun without searching up any of this information. Then we created a final list of Vocabulary

Our three sailing instructors were Steve, JR and Justin. Justin showed us how to put the boat together before we could do it ourselves in partners. We had to get into partners because the boat has to jobs. One person controlled the sail and the other controlls the rudder. We sailed from ASC to Mechanic bay. 

After lunch we went back onto the water with our boat and partner and played more activity's. Our instructors Steve and JR were tossing the toys in the water while we were trying to grab them. I think it was really enjoyable because I got to see people capsizing. 

We would like to give a big thank you to Rotary, The instructors , Miss daf, Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie. It was a great experience learning how to sail.
