This morning we hit the beach for our second surf lesson! It was a different kind of day – not as sunny, but the clouds and light were beautiful on the beach.
Some of the students returned to do a surf lesson, while the rest were happy to swim, walk the beach and pick interesting rocks and shells 🙂
Wet-suits ready to go!
Blake from Lets Go Surfing picked us up promptly at 9am, dropping us to their shop by the beach. Once everyone got fitted with their boards and wet-suits, we were ready to hit the waves!
On our way to the beach
Everyone had a quick dip in the sea to cool down before the lesson.
We had the lovely Amy as our instructor today and she went through all the important points, tips and safety instructions before they were ready to hit the waves.
While they were preparing for surf, the others went for another dip!
Ready for the waves!!!
We were later joined by Lexis students Nico and Anselmo!
🙂
And a nice hot burger and chips to warm up afterwards! 🙂

Today we had the very fun and creative activity of Boomerang painting! Our Hiroshima Juniors joined with their classmates and together, we all painted our own individual boomerang.
Everyone ready to start! 🙂
I had some painted boomerangs to show as examples, as well as some information about the meaning behind all the symbols – an interesting insight into the traditional Aboriginal style, used to tell stories through the artists paintings.
See everyone concentrating hard on their masterpieces! 😀
Some finished details…

Yesterday we headed down to the beach for some Bodyboarding!
Summer is still here and it was beautifully warm in and out of the water 🙂
We collected the boards from the wonderful team at Let’s Go Surfing, then I gave the students a quick demonstration on the beach before they headed into waves!
The waves were pretty small but they all managed to catch a few and had lots of fun, which is the important thing!

Yesterday Orla and I taught the students how to make dreamcathers!
I had a small group in the afternoon, which made it easy to show and help each of them individually, ensuing they were made to perfection!
We all opted to go for neutral, rustic designs. Once we had covered the outer ring and made the web, we made them more decorative with hanging feathers, tassels, shells and beads.
Maria and Patricia made theirs to go in their van, which will no doubt give them fond memories of Byron and Lexis when they’re on their travels, whilst Raphael decided his made a great accessory for glasses!

We patiently waited for the rice to cook in the rice cooker, but after an hour had to put some of in the microwave to speed the process up! We were all hungry and keen to start making our rolls…
For fillings we had tuna, cream cheese, smoked salmon, avocado, carrot and cucumber.
One of our students, Dana, works in a sushi restaurant and rolled me a delicious tuna and avocado roll <3 Thanks Dana and Surim for teaching us how to make sushi!
