Swimming

Swimming

On Tuesday class 3 went to the Glen Innes, pools for swimming lessons. There were instructors who took lessons with our class there were two groups. Group one and group two. Group one swam in the big pools but group two swam in the medium pool, I didn't swim so I sat on the side on the chairs and watched the others swim.

 There were different lanes and various activities to do and do such as, kicking with two legs or floating on your back and using your legs to kick up and down the lane. Meanwhile as I was sitting on the side I saw the swimmers paddling and kicking.

As they were kicking splashes, splashed on the side

of the path way it had lots of slippery patches where people had to carefully walk by. Some people were exhausted and tired of swimming because some of them were not allowed to touch the ground while swimming.

Meanwhile sitting on the side there were public people swimming as well as Class 3. The swimmers did lots of different swimming lessons such as the Backstroke also the Freestyle and Floating on their back and kicking.

Finally finishing off their swimming lessons Miss Clark called out to them and said “Hop out of the pool and get ready, quick!!!”. Afterwards they hopped out of the pools and quickly walked slowly to the changing room and got ready, so we can get back to school in time as the bell rang for school to finish.

Walking back to school most of the kids were exhausted and tired of swimming, as we got to class our teacher quickly rushed and opened the door for us to get in. As we got in Miss Clark handed out the notices and talked to us about what we need for the next day.

School Subjects

On school days we we do writing, reading, maths and inquiry. Reading is my favourite because I get 

to learn new words and get to also read more about different things. My next favourite subject is Writing because I get to learn new words and also get to learn how to make new sentences and also get to make my writing better.

Social Writing

Walking back home from school I open the door and shout to my mum “mum im going for a shower” then my mum replies back “ok” afterwards I go for a really quick shower then I go  to my room and look for something to wear.

Suddenly I worried because I don't know what to wear. So I dig through my clothes and look for something that would make me feel comfortable with but I kept worrying because I kept thinking that I would be the only one wearing different clothes.

Later on I found a green pictured jumper, shorts that were brown and up to my knees. Luckily I found something that would be comfortable for me to wear so I put it on and  got ready, but I looked at the time and kept thinking i'm late so I quickly call my dad and say “i'm ready” then he says “ok lets go now” so I quickly hopped into the car and went.

Later on I hopped out of the car and i'm feeling excited and happy at the same time, so I start walking to the hall and see that there were lots of people wearing different clothes so as I walk into the hall and see different decorations and different colored paper hanging on the wall then I hear music that was loud, not that loud.

They were also selling snacks outside the hall for anyone who is hungry or thirsty, the teachers were selling them with other helpers in the hall, including some prefects.

Later on I see my friends running to me and saying “come come, lets go sit over there” then I start walking to the chair and sit down, later on we stand up and start walking around also watching others dance.
