At the start of the lesson the teacher explained that the pupils were going to be sailing with an instructor. One of the pupils showed an interest in going out on the boat for them to have a go at operating the sail to move in various directions independently. To begin with one of the pupils enjoyed helping the instructor to set up the sail and lever of the boat.
After they had finished setting up the pupil and instructor set off in the sail boat as they moved around the lake while their peers travelled in the speed boat with the teacher and other staff members following the pupil and instructor's movements when they sailed in a variety of right, left or around in a circular motions. The pupils also supported their peer by shouting encouraging words of "you need to remember to duck your head when the sail comes across" and "pull the string in tighter or you are going to tip over into the water".
While we were out sailing and speed boating the teacher and the instructor swapped places as the teacher demonstrated to the pupils how to manoeuvre the sail and lever at an independent time. The teacher then showed the pupils what a dry cap size was while the instructor explained step by step how to achieve the movements. The teacher swapped back over with the pupil and instructor as they continued to sail with their final destination being to travel back to shore.
As we got back all of the pupils helped to unattach the sail and lever and put away the various equipment's as they followed the safety instructions. Then they all went over to the grass area and sat together having a picnic. After two of the pupils went out with the teacher showing an interest in directing the steering wheel and lever to travel quickly with one pupil saying "I want to go really fast".
