Year six spend a day
sailing at Stanley Head Sailing Centre

|
On
29th June 2002, Mr. Oakden took a group of year six children
sailing at Stanley Head Sailing Centre. There were 10 children
assisted by two willing parents.
We arrived at
Stanley Pool, located just outside Endon, Staffordshire, at around
9.50. The first task was to prepare the boats for sailing. the
instructors explained how to rig the boats and what the various
controls did. Before very long all the children were on the water
accompanied by an instructor. |
As the day progressed
the children took control of the boats and by the end of the day felt
comfortable steering and giving instructions.
There was a slight
drama during the morning session as one of the parents capsized
his boat. Mr. Oakden then had to jump into the water to right his boat,
as it has turned upside down.
The day was extremely
enjoyable and the children were all keen to sail again.
