Swimming Sports by Bailey

Swimming Sports
It was a nice clear day for Swimming Sports on Friday 28th February 2014. My group was A4 with my friend Me’a. Swimming Sports was held in our school pool.

We had to get changed very quickly before morning tea. After we got changed we had a quick eat and play. The bell rang. My heart was pounding as I ran back to my classroom. I got my goggles and towel and ran to the courtyard and sat down with Me’a, Mrs Venville called the ‘C’s’ to line up. We walked to the pools. I spotted my mum, Aunty Jess and my brother Max. I gave a wave to them. They waved back. Then it was time for the first race – freestyle and after that backstroke then dolphin dive!

I was exhausted after all those races!

Millennium Trip by Logan

Millennium Trip



On Thursday 3 April Room14 and Room18 went to the Millennium Centre in Mairangi Bay to learn about water safety.  They were the only classes that went on the trip on that day.

The first activity we did was Team Building where we had to work together to complete the game.  The games we played was to get the hula hoops around the group.

The next activity we did was Snorkeling. We had to swim to the other side of the pool. The other thing that happened was we had to go under the water through hula hoops.

Then we did Kayaking. First we practised paddling for at the end of the kayaking. We also practised capsizing in the kayak. It was awesome!

The last activity we did was Water Safety. We also feel out of the boat backwards. Next we stepped off a wharf.

The best bit about the trip was the kayaking.
