My incredible time at Eastern Beach By Deziree

On Monday 27th February the whole school went to Eastern Beach. I was in the first bus by Isabella and we were talking.  We got there and was  told to sit on the grass, but the grass was wet. Mr Johnston was talking about the safety drills. We were eating and waiting for the other three buses. The buses arrived at Eastern Beach and we had to stop eating. Then it was Room 1’s turn to swim with life jackets. They got out and had morning tea. Room 2 had a swim with the life jackets. Room 1 wasn’t allowed to swim with no life jackets. After Room 2, Room 4 swam with life jackets. Savannah brought a Bop it toy. We played with it. Myself, Savannah, Kyra, Yvette and Creedence were playing Bop it. It was Room 7’s time to swim with the life jackets. We had to swim after Room 7 because we allowed to give Room 6 a longer turn. It  was a fabulous  time. We got to swim, it was fun and exciting. We had to have a swim with the life jackets. We got to have a quick snack then we had another swim. My friend Jharda’e was chasing me to Mrs Bruce. She won because she was cheating. We were pulling each others arm. She was in front of me but I called it a tie.  The seaweed looked like sticks but it wasn’t. It was dried out on the beach side. Me and Jharda’e were giggling because she got the water in her mouth. After our turn Room 6 had to swim. We were having a great time swimming. We had to hop out and have lunch. I had  corn chips, cookies, nuggets and water . We were allowed another swim after our lunch . I like swimming. We only were allowed to have 30 minutes left to swim. We had to leave Eastern Beach at 2:15pm. I  fell asleep on the bus. When we arrived back at school we were allowed a quick drink before we went home!!!!

Finally the bus came and it was our bus. Room  6 went on the bus and then Room6 nearly  filled up the bus. Room5 went in the bus but some people couldn’t fit in the bus  so they had to go in with Room7 &Room8. We all left school at 10 o’clock. Room6 & Room5 went to line up on the grass because Ms Kirkpatrick and Mr Johnston wanted to talk to us about  water safety while we had our morning tea.

I had one swim because l  hate swimming in the sea. l had fun at Eastern Beach. l made a sand castle. l also played volleyball, played on the the tree & had lunch. l was eating all my lunch and then someone found a hide out so l  went to climb up but  a  teacher told us to get  down from the hide out  because it was out of bounds .But we didn’t  care. The people that were swimming  had to get out because they had to have lunch so they got out and had  their lunch and  they played  in the water & played in the sand. Then we got told to get out of the water.They went to go and get changed. The whole School went to line up on the grass. It took 10 to 20 minutes for the bus to come. Finally the bus  came. We went back to school. l had a fun day at Eastern Beach!!!

My time at Eastern Beach, By Alazay

Wow what a beautiful day!!! The birds were chirping and the waves were splashing at Eastern Beach. When the whole school went out to the driveway and the buses weren’t there we had to wait. We waited about 10 -15 minutes for the buses and then the buses came. We hopped on the buses and went to Eastern Beach. On the bus all the girls sang songs. When we got there it looked like an island paradise. We played on the sand and built a mermaid, until Mr Johnston said “It is time for Room 5’s ‘turn for the life jacket lesson”. We all started to swim on our backs and on our tummies. Next we had to take the life jackets off and went swimming without the life jackets. When it was time for lunch I had donut’s, cookies, chicken, cheerios, fruit and juice. Next I played on my iPod and listened to music, until it was time to pack up and go back to school.

The Eastern Beach Picnic. By Rose

Yes! On Monday February 27th 2012, Panmure Bridge School went on a  school picnic. There were some parent helpers like Aryan’s grandmother, Isabella’s Aunt, Cody’s mother and Keri. All of Panmure Bridge School waited and waited for the school bus.  Then everyone thought
that was the school bus, but it was just a car parking. Then the school bus arrived at last. All of Panmure Bridge school went on the bus to go to Eastern Beach. When we went to Eastern Beach we had a snack. After we had a snack we played some games. After that some people went to go and got changed for swimming. First they had to wear some life jackets. I was so happy because I played in the sand with my cousin. After people swam we had some lunch and fruit. After that the bus came and it was time to go. When we were going to go on the bus I said to my cousin “This was the best Eastern Beach picnic I have ever been on”.

My time at Eastern Beach

Eastern Beach

It is finally Monday February 27th the coolest day yet. I just could not wait to hop on the bus to get to the amazing Eastern beach. First Miss Paton had to do the roll and for the first time, I saw Miss Paton in shorts. Then I was excited for the bus. The bus took forever to come but then we all heard a sound that sounded like a bus. Soon after the sound there came two more buses. There was no luck for us. Then another bus came and it was the school bus to take us to Eastern Beach. Finally, a bus came passed with a word that said school. It was a school bus and then everyone stood up and ran fast to the bus. We were all ready to hop on. Then Miss Paton started to count all the student’s to get on the bus. After the students had got on the bus the bus was all full. Soon after two buses came along, then we had to hop on to the next bus. I hopped on and sat in the bus. Later on I saw a beach and I thought to myself could that be Eastern Beach. Finally we got even closer to the beach. Yes! I said shouting in the bus, we are finally here. I took a look everywhere to see if I could remember anything from last year. The first thing I saw were the Volley ball grounds. But the first thing I saw was the cave from last year. What was that on the corner of the cave? It was the old place that people always use to climb. A few hours later we started to put on life jackets with Mr.Nepia. After that we got to have a free swim with out our life jackets. After we all hopped out we got changed. Tyler and I ran to the changing rooms. I ran really fast to my lunch and ate my terrific roll that my mum made for me. My mum made me three filled rolls and I ate two. Then I walked to Addnan and sat down with him because he couldn’t swim. So I asked him if he wanted some lunch? and he said
“no “because he already had lunch. I felt bored so I played touch with the twins,Tevita, Suliasi, Teagan,Trinity, Henry and Piripi. Mr. Nepia was coaching. I stopped playing and sat with Addnan and watched. I joined in on the game and played with Addnan. I made a new friend. He was Suliasi’s cousin. He said he came from America. I aksed him where do you come from? he said he came from Tonga and America. Soon Mr.Jonston said “If you want to go for one more swim then do so now”. After the kids got out, we all got in a perfect line of clases. We all got up and walked to the buses. This time it took four buses to take us back to school. Later on I went home.

Tyler's Eastern Beach story

MY TIME AT EASTERN BEACH STORY

Yahoo! we are going to Eastern Beach today. I was so angry when the bus was late. It came about 10 to 20 minutes late. I was so angry when the bus was late. When we went to Eastern Beach we had morning tea. Then we went to play volley ball with Kifi, Mosese, Molia and I. Then we went into the water. We had to do the life jacket activity. We had to touch the kayak. We had to float on our back and on our stomach the water was so cold. Then we got to have free time. After we we had lunch I had a sandwich, it was nice. I hope we go to Eastern Beach next year.
