Canoeing

Today Bilal showed me the passage of comprehension that came in his examination. The comprehension was about a boy who had attended a summer camp that he did not enjoy much earlier. However after sometimes he told the counselor of summer camp what he wanted. There he told him that what he wanted in canoeing. I asked Bilal if he knew about canoeing. He said no. There in the passage it was mentioned that the boy did not want to sit in the bow of the canoe and that he would try to sit in the stern and take the role of stern paddler.

What we found out was that the bow is front part of the canoe while stern is the back of canoe.

So, we decided to find out more about the canoe. The following picture was very useful that was found from the website.




The video also shows a girl doing stern paddling.

The website has a lot of information on canoeing.

Bilal's write up on Keti Bandar

I was sleeping; a voice came; Nawaal, Naveen, do you want to go to Keti Bandar, I woke up and saw that Maryam was sitting on the sofa. My father was praying Namaz. I saw the clock it was 6:09 am. I changed my clothes. My cousin Afrin Adil Shaikh was with us. Everyone was changing clothes but I was done. I was going down as I remembered my hat. I wore my hat and went down. My father gave me a cloth to wipe car's window. Then we began to move. First we stopped at a Shells's petrol pump. Then we went to Malir. It was traffic as we dont expect as it will be. Then we reached National Highway. We take a picture. I was too foggy that something white was coming out of our mouth. Then Maryam said I wanted to do "potty". Then we stopped at the petrol pump. My father asked to a man is there any washroom. He said yes. Then my mom took Maryam with her. But Maryam didn't do anything. Then we reached to a town. It was too much foggy, we took photos. I remember the towns that we reached : Gharo, Sakro, Buharo, Garho and the last we reached Keti Bandar. We sat in the boat first. First I was scared. We also saw dolphins. We stopped at an island. It was too much deep when we were going my father went for washroom. Then we went back home.
