Reach Rescue

For swimming we do reach rescue. Reach rescue is a technique where you get a buddy and one is out of the pool trying to save them and the other one is in the pool signalling for help. The buddy that is out of the pool gets on their knees and puts the pool noodle in and waits for the other to grab it. When they grab it you drag them up and you hold one of their hands and pull the other hand up. It's actually quite fun but you just need to do it right. If you don't then it might be hard for you. Everything takes time to get good at. We do this because it might come in handy one day if we are at a pool and need to help someone.

Museum

Today my class and room 4 went to the museum. Our class went to something called a star dome. We had to go in groups because if you didn't all the air would come out and the tent would fall down. When we were in there we were learning about the stars and how some of them are red and some go away in a week or so. The red ones would explode but not today in a couple of years or so. We also learnt this song and it goes like this. White and blue are young and new. Red and gold are old and cold. Puanga I think is the biggest star or its the second biggest. Matariki is the biggest star I think. Most people only see some matariki cluster  as 7 or 6 stars in matariki cluster. But there's actually 1000 or more. It was really fun at the museum.

Term 2 goals

This term I want to get better at my maths and times-tables in maths because i think i'm bad at it so i'm going to try improve on that.

I want to get better at running this term because I think i'm slow.

I want to make more friends because I don't think I have much.

I'm going to keep trying and by the end of the term I might get it.

Swimming!

I want to improve on backstroke and butterfly because I think I'm not good at it yet  and I'd love to get better at butterfly.  I am really bad it and I'd like to try even though I might fail. I've gotten really good at freestyle. My goal is to get better at backstroke and butterfly by the end of the year.

Swimming!

This is a picture of our swimathon.  The person marking me was Billy. We only had 20 minutes to swim across the pool and back again and keep doing that over and over again til the 20 minutes were up. I got 40 marks, so I was really happy but really tired and my eyes were hurting. People kept kicking me in the face . It was hard but I kept on trying.

Ballet

Today we went we ballet and we saw 3 types of dances! I was so excited one of the names was fairy-doll. My favorite was the last dance because they were all on stage. But the part I didn't really like was how long it took. At they very end we got to put our hands up to ask question there were 9 Schools 9!! At the start people were cheering for their schools and our's was the loudest. It took a really long time for it to start and that was annoying because too many people were talking at one time. It was like 1 hour at the ballet. It was kinda boring and I almost fell asleep. I learned that a couple dancers on the show we're married and had boyfriend and girlfriend. We went to the royal opera house and got there by bus. Only seniors went.
