I had an opportunity to use what we had learnt from our camp preparation programme.
We were on the way home from Taranaki, and we decided to stop by an isolated beach. It was quite cold (hence Mrs Ahie's scarf and Josef's hoodie). We thought we just had to put our toes in the water before heading back to the beachless Hamilton.

The water was freezing, so we didn't aim to stay long.
Alas, we turned our heads for a couple of seconds, and Josef ran as fast as he could into deeper water... landing face first.
Thankfully, we had a little merino shirt and a woolen jersey to get him into. We stripped off his cotton (as that would have maintained the cold even with the merino and wool on), got him into his warm clothes, and into the car (with the heater on). He is now nice and healthy, and he didn't even get a runny nose.
It is always encouraging to use what one has learnt. Have you been able to use what you have learnt during the term and apply it these holidays? If so, I would love to hear from you.

Enjoy your last week of holidays.
