The London Multi Sports Activities Week 2014 begins today with
sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. Two of those might be difficult without wind
but given it's sunny and warm we're not complaining! Here, the pupils get their
briefing on health and safety from the staff at Queen Mary's reservoir.
Everyone is in wetsuits and buoyancy aids. The water is
stiller than a lazy sloth after a long lunch!
And the kayakers are straight out on the the water.
No windsurfing as no wind. So lots of games involving the
windsurfing boards. These include a game where pupils raced to the blue flag,
stood up and did a dance, then came back. Some excellent attempts included the
Macarena, Gangnam style! In this
picture two groups have to go out to the flag and back on their board. Quite
hard!
