Yah! Term 2 is swimming term. I was so eager to go swimming this term, and show off all my skills. Even though it’s the least favourite sport for me, it still cool splashing around with my class mates.


With goosebumps traveling down my neck, I immediately jumped into the pool to get warm. I stayed under the water for about 20 seconds, getting Warmer by the moment. Then when my lungs could take no more, I came up gasping for air.


Para 3: Freestyle

I was the second person to take off at freestyle. Logan was in front of me just gliding through the water easily. I thought this was going to be easy, but it was struggling. Floppy arms and legs all over. That’s why I was struggling.

Para 4: Exhaustion at swimming.

Only at half-way, I was exhausted from swimming. I knew that stopping would mean that I a wimp at swimming so, I pushed my self to the limit. With my never say die attitude, I made it the whole length with-out stopping. That was exhausting.

Conclusion:
I think this swimming lesson has been the best for me. I learnt the different techniques to swim better and faster.

Easter Holidays

Do you like West Wave? West wave is where I went to with my family in the Easter holiday. Wave pools, hydro-slides, spa pools and bombing pools. That place is wicked! It was my turn up. The person if front of me just jumped off the platform. As I thought to myself this is going to be easy, but then I walked forward. I looked down and saw I was way high. I tried to turn back but, my brother blocked me off. So the only way down, was to jump.

I was so excited to go to west wave. Easter holidays are all ways boring for me except for this year. My family were going to West Wave.

Gabriel First Highlight of Term 1

Camp was my first term highlight. I was the camp leader for the Responsible Rockers. That was my group name. Everything at camp was challenging. Swimming for the whole day at swimarama. Setting up our tents, the smoke from camp cooking, the strength for Kayaking and 2 hours of skating. But when it came up to Camp Concert, that was the most challenging of all. For our performance, we done some robot moves with a little bit of Tectonic. The next day on my birthday, we went to the YMCA in Pammure. I hope next term can be less struggling like this term. If it will be then I will be ready.

Art Space

I drew a flag that says Respect. I did that because I respects my school and my culture. First we sketched the out-line and then we coloured it with pastel. I used pink, grey, and green brown and yellow colours. After the pastel we went straight onto painting. Painting was the fun bit. I painted my painting red on the out-side and that was my flag.
