This term we have been going to the pool after school to finish off some of the tasks for the Rookie Lifeguard Award. We have also been paddling kayaks and finding out about traditional Inuit kayaks which have been used in the Arctic for thousands of years for hunting. Some of the children in our
link school in Igloolik go hunting after school and in the holidays.

I love the pictures of the life guarding- you all look very relaxed and good at floating. The Kayaking looks really controlled too. Do you fancy trying it in the Arctic?
