Surf Awareness Day!
Most Australians (there are only 20 million) live very near the coast - so there is sort of a surf culture here. All the school kids go to a Surf Awareness Course in Year 5. Jonah's class had their day last week. The kids learn about the rip tides and how to handle the change in conditions at the beach. After the classroom section the kids all go to the beach and they get in the water onto a surf type board and learn how to handle the tide and the surf. I'm sure this type of education saves a lot of lives in Australia but from Jonah's perspective it was just good fun to go to the beach with all his Year 5 Mates!
