Ved, Imran and Arnav's Kayaking Experience

Learners: Arnav, Ved & Imran    Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 3.12.15

Learning Area: Education Outside the Classroom (EOTC) - Kayaking/Paddleboarding

Learning Observed

Arnav, Ved and Imran chose to participate in Selestine’s iExplore trip to go Paddle Boarding. The three boys were very keen to get out on the water and curious about what exactly paddle boarding entailed. Initially, they thought they would be spending their 60mins on the stand up paddle boards. However, due to the wind on the day, they were able to split their time between the paddle boards and kayaks. The worked collaboratively to navigate the kayak, which was quite a challenge at first. The wind and current were carrying them away from the safe paddling area, so they had to figure out the best way to paddle their kayak together. They learnt that if they did not work together, then they could not get to where they needed to be! Arnav, Ved and Imran were able to practice the new paddling techniques that the instructors showed them. These transferred to the paddle boards too. All three boys had a turn to develop their capabilities with this.

It was another foggy night and Rocco knew that one pet was going to be stolen from somewhere across the city. It happened every foggy night and nobody knew what to do about it. Rocco is a young adventurer who had a pet dragon. He rushed upstairs to check if his pet dragon was taken. He was too late his pet dragon was already taken there was just a note. It was from the nightmare of everybody. He is the Shadow. His laugh echoed around the room. Suddenly there was a shadow behind him shaped like a person. Then in a flash he was gone. Rocco picked the note and read it slowly. He had to go to the mystery mountain. It’s a dangerous trip nobody even thinked of going there. But Rocco is different he knew he needed to go. He started packing but in the middle of when he packing he heard the same laugh. He set off he kept hearing the same laugh getting louder and louder. He  got to the mystery
