Last week, my grade and the one below me went n this school field trip.It is a week long, and it is all about marine biology. There are lots of activities, games and boat rides, (it was three hours away, on the cape) but there was plenty of learning involved too. There was this thing called the toby's island challenge, where you have to build a raft that is all tied together out of 2 kayaks, one tiny boat, two tiny inner tubes, 15 halve kayak paddles, and a lot of rope. Our headmaster Doug, was in his boat, while making huge waves. In the end, we were freezing from trying to swim to this island, and we were mad because most of us had lost our towels, or shoes. Our boat started sinking because of all the water that had built up in it, and so we jumped out, and started swimming. The worst part, (other than our whole raft sinking) was the fact that the teachers made us do it back too. We were freezing the whole way. We came in second which is pretty good, considering that none of the other rafts had sunk. Well, I guess the whole week was pretty fun after all.
