Swimming Sports

We had to write a description about our swimming sports. We were learning how to write a detailed description, also how to use present tense and vivid words.

Swimming Race 🏊

Plop, I jump into the water,  grab onto the wall and with my arms behind me I face the pool.  TAKE YOUR MARKS, GO!  I’m off,  the water is flowing around my face.  The colourful lane rope beside me slowly changes colour. The further I go it seems like the pool is getting longer. I’m breathing every three strokes. When I breathe I see spectators watching then when I put my head back down I can’t see them any more.

Half way through my legs slowly become lifeless. People are cheering for other people. I can hear them when I breathe but then I can’t. People rocket past me but I don’t care much. I look to both sides and there aren’t any people behind, which means I’m coming last, but I don’t care much (although I would like to come first). I breathe in some water then I start to choke.

The bottom becomes closer which means I’m getting close to the end. I’m nearly at the wall. Ow! I just hit the wall. I raise myself up and then get out of the water. I then receive my time and hand it in.  I walk back to my seat and wait for my next race.

How to be a Better Learner in our School

We had to make a slide about how to be a successful learner. We had to make a slide on a shared slide-show. Here it is.

That was summer

In our class we wrote a poem about summer. We got our inspiration from the poem summer by  Marci
Ridlon.

That Was Summer

Remember that time

when the waves

were crashing down

on the beach

pulling you slightly

every time,

the sand deforming

every step you take?

Remember how the

rocks rolled away

after you pushed them?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you hit the water

in the pool

or hit the ground

after jumping off

a pile of rocks

or the time when

you saw the clouds

swiftly blow away

in the wind?

Remember how the waves

nearly stole your shoes?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you drank L&P

at the car park

with your bare feet

getting burnt by the hot ground

or when you went to the waterfall

and stood on a rock in the water

and thought “I’m the king of my own island”?

Remember how the time

came when you had to go?

That was summer.

Remember that time

when you went

swimming in the river

when your dad said

not to

or when the iron

from the tracks on the digger

felt like flaming hot lava

or when the rocks

hurt your feet

when you were at the river?

Remember how the

sand covered your

feet and the heat made you

want to stay there forever?

That was summer.

My Book Review

We were learning to do a statistical investigation. Mine is about how many skips people can do in a minute.

Jumps on the Spot in Room Five for One Minute

We have been learning how to do a statistical investigation. We also have been learning how to make a stem and leaf graph. We had to jump for one minute and count our jumps then we made a stem and leaf graph and a drawing about it. Here is mine.
