Why You Should Learn How To Swim!

Why You Should Learn How To Swim!

Every year thousands of people drown because they don’t know how to swim. It is very
important that you know how to swim. Down below I am going to list 3 reasons why you should
learn how to swim.

Firstly, Swimming is a great sport because it is good for your health and your muscles. You can
get fit. As well as going to the gym you could go swimming. Exercising makes you feel good.
At the pool you can do aqua jogging as well as swimming like; breaststroke, backstroke,
freestyle
and butterfly. 

Secondly, I believe if you were on a boat and you couldn’t swim and you fell in without a life
jacket you could drown. If you were at a pool and you don’t know how to swim, you should
be in with an adult and stay at the shallow end.  Even if you know how to swim if you are
young you should still have an adult watching you. I believe it is important to know how to swim
because you could drown.

Finally, I believe you should learn to swim because it is fun and sociable. You can make new
friends or see friends from school. You and your friend could do swimming races together and
other things. If you make friends with someone in your group like swim club or swimming
lessons you could swim beside them.

In conclusion, I believe you should learn how to swim, because it is good for your muscles 
and your health. You should learn to swim because you could drown one day. It is fun and
sociable and you can make new friends and see friends from school if they do swim club or
swimming lessons. I strongly agree this is why you should learn how to swim.

Toki Pounamu Film festival

     Toki Pounamu Film Festivals

                   Crime Case

Today 14.11.2019 the senior school went to the Toki Pounamu Film Festival at the
Regent Theatre. There were about 5 different schools at the film festival. This is
a film festival that all schools around Greymouth come to the film festival. It is
our first time going to the film festival. My favourite film was the crime case
report because it was funny and I really enjoyed watching it. It was different to
the other films because they were all about ‘’our place’’. I think that the slow
motion and the editing was really well done. It made me laugh. My favourite part
of the film was when the two people were chasing the robber with fake guns. My
other favourite part was at the end because they jumped on him and caught the
robber . I think the people who made it did really well. I hope we go next year to
the Toki Pounamu Film Festival.

Kiwi collage

We have been learning to make a collage on google drawing. We had to use the explore, mask and arrange tools to get our collage to come together. We had to make a NZ bird and put in into its habitat. It was lots of fun and I am really pleased with my bird. Have you ever had a go at this?
