On Thursday 9 June room twenty two went down to Tamaki Collage.Before we went down there we had to get into groups. In my group we had Etta,David,Ben,Teari and me Destiny and the leader for our group was Etta. We went there because it was a part of our topic Bigger,Better,Faster,Stronger.
When we came into the door there were some people telling us where to sit and we had to sit on the left side of the hall. There were two people up at the front and they were telling
us about fire,sound,senses they talked about our eyes,Chemicals and there was a chemical and
it was called bubbling liquid and more.
The first thing that they talked about was fire. Jane the lady that was up the front had a lotto ticket in her hand. The lotto ticket that she had was not her it was Paul’s the man that was up the front. The first thing that she did with lotto ticket is she put it in a plate that had water in it. Then she burn it and when she burned it the lotto ticket didn’t go into ashes. Then she put the lotto ticket in a jar that had a type of chemical in it. Then when she palled it out the lotto ticket was dry.
For the last two weeks the year 7 and 8 have been going down to the Glen Innes pool. During lunch time when we finished our lunch room 18 and 22 go to the pools for swimming lessons our teacher and they are Ms Tito,Miss Dempster,Mrs Nua,Mr Harris and Mrs Lagitupu.Why do we go swimming you may ask well we go there to the pools so we can get better at swimming so if you are lost out in the sea,Emergency and also you could survival and if you are surround by water.
The second week of swimming we had to test how good we were at swimming. We had two teams and the team that I was in was Miss Dempster. When I got into the pool I was cold and had goosebumps. My teacher Miss Dempster told us that we were going to be doing freestyle and backstroke.
I am going to explain how to do freestyle.When you are doing freestyle you have to keep your legs straight and your elbow has to came out first and then your finger drive in the water and then came out and the same of the other arm.
Now I am going to explain about backstroke. Backstroke is a litter bit about freestyle but you are lying on your back and kicking your legs but the still have to be straight. And your arm have to go in a circle. And I want to go back to swimming because swimming is cool and fun.
