 * Monday was our first day swimming. Here is our recount of our experience.**

Our Trip to Swimming

On Tuesday October 30 Room 2 went to the Otara Leisure Pools to get better at swimming and learn how to swim. We went on a bus.

First we went to the changing rooms to change into our togs. When we finished changing we went to sit down by the swimming pool in the corner. That pool is for schools to learn how to swim. Then the instructors put us in groups of five. They told us to get in the water and blow bubbles under the water for five seconds.

There were three groups and we had different activities. One group went to the deep pool and did freestyle. They went as far as they could. Another group learnt to float like a starfish. The other group learned to glide across the water by kicking with straight legs.

Finally we got out of the swimming pool then we went to the changing rooms. Then we lined up and got on the bus. We went on the bus and we got back to school. Here are some words we used to describe our trip Awesome, cool, fascinating, exciting, easy, amazing, fantastic, excellent, it was an experience, fun, great, outrageous, magnificent, extraordinary, cheerful, the water was soft, joyful, splashy and splendid!

Our Inquiry Journey has started for the year. Our main focus is Sustainability and Energy. These are some of our Wonderings we had about energy.



This is some of our recent art. We made these using pastels. Some of us were inspired by fireworks.



We have also been very lucky to have Art with Mrs Hewlitt. This is Luron's sunflower. We all made one of these using crayon and dye.
