 Yesterday the whole school went to Taupo Bay to snorkel. First we did the rubbish clean up. I found a beer bottle. Next I found some plastic wrappers. When we finished we had Morning tea.

 Next we did the sand castle competition. Mine and Ryan's sand castle was an alien ship that crashed into a city. The big kids helped me and Ryan do our sand castle. I got some water from the sea. I tipped the water onto the sand castle.

 First I got my wet suit on. When I was snorkelling I saw a school of fish. Next I saw a stingray. I swam really fast because I was afraid. I could see the sea weed swaying I was scared that it might touch me. The colour of the sea weed was brown and green mixed together.

 I loved doing the sand castle comp because me and Ryan's sand castle looked cool. The other sand castles looked cool too. I loved doing the sand castle competition.
