Finally Swimming Starts

Yes! swimming has began. I have been dreading it for the last week. Before we got to the pools we had a choice, we could go into the big pool with Mr Marks, or we could go into the leisure pool with Miss Garden. I chose the big pool.

As I went into the pool slowly I could smell the chlorine, and when I was fully in the water it was instantly cold. I had second thoughts for being in the big pool, because I knew that the leisure pool was definitely warmer than the pool I was in.

“We are going to do freestyle” Mr Marks said to us.When it was my turn my arm’s were exhausted, and to make it even better Mr Marks kept on telling us what we needed to improve. I had to work on my arms.

After we did all of our strokes we had extra time. When Mr Marks told us we could have free time everybody said “yes!. Me and my friends did flips and competitions. Sadly we had to go out of the pool and get ready to go back to school.

Vote For The Best Introductions


I have tried to make two introductions about what I did in the holidays, but they are about the same things. So can you please vote for the best introduction by typing your answer in the box below the two choices. The first paragraph is going straight into the action and the second is going straight to my feeling's or what I was thinking. Vote for which is best.

“Hurry up” I said to my dad and sister, as I start hopping into the luge with excitement. When we arrived in Rotovages ( Rotorua). Our first activity was going down the luge.Down I went trying to steer it and just before I crashed in to somebody, I quickly read the instructions which I could not see. Later on I got the hang of it and got to go on it again but this time the intermediate it was more fun than the first time I went on. Half way on the intermediate lane I felt like I was on air but, I wasn't I was just going down a hill. After that l had to slow down because it was finished I had to wait a while because my sister and dad were taking very long to come down.

Cool I thought as I went inside the luge.Quickly I thought how do I steer this thing.After that I panicked and nearly crashed into somebody. A while later I got the hang of it and tried to go faster and faster, but then this sign was coming closer and closer it wanted us to slow down. “Oh” I said as I slowed down, it was the end. I really wanted to go on again I even begged for another go. Sadly we had no more passes.

Glee


This term I really wanted to build up my confidence. To do that me and my friends wanted to audition for glee. My friends and I made it in thanks to Mrs M (Muliaumasealii). Me and Chante my friend got taught ballet and we had to teach the rest of the people. Our practices were at Thursdays lunch times and after school till five o’clock. After all that had work we learnt all our moves and places. Next challenge was to get ready to perform on Friday all the people at glee had to go to the library to get dressed up and look pretty.Sadly some people ended up look like clowns. Next session we are going to be singing definitely my favorite category.

Why Do Babies Need More Sleep Than Grown Ups?



The smaller the baby the more sleep they need. Babies require more sleep than adults.

All babies grow when they are sleeping. Young kids only need more sleep than babies, but less sleep than adults.Babies do little as sleep and eat.

While adults are sleeping the worn cells are repaired.Adults need sleep because they have a period of rest.So they are ready for work the next day.

The bodies of grown ups only need food for energy,but smaller bodies need food for bones and muscle also for energy. They need all of that food because they do a lot of running. Until the reach of age goes to 1-2 years.
