On Friday, the last day of school, Fa and Hank joined Hank’s Year 4 class at St. Kilda Beach. I drove our car with the food, towels, wetsuits, and body boards, while Fa rode with the kids in a bus. The bus broke down a few 
blocks from the beach but the kids eventually made it on foot. We met in the St. Kilda Surf Life Saving Club, where life guards instructed us in proper beach attire, supplies, and behaviour, and we watched a couple 
of videos too. I think we were well prepared, having gone to the beach many times while we are here in New Zealand, but for some of the kids it was their first time at the beach. We had tea and lunch, then the kids played Octopus. 
Eventually we put on our togs and wetsuits and swam for maybe 20 minutes. We came back after a great day at the beach right here in Dunedin.
