Swimming Sports!

   The smell of chlorine in the building and tons of children everywhere. Oh no! My turn. We were all confident in ourselves and were ready to go. BEEP! that's the buzzer time to go! As I glided through the clear, pleasant water, I could overhear all the screaming and yelling from the benches. First two lengths done, another three more to go.

One more heat to go. As I got to to the end of the lane, I was full of joy because I was finally done! Then I realised I still have one more heat to go. AHH! Is this like a ongoing race or something? What's your favourite stroke? Do you like swimming? I do, kind of. Comment down below.

All of my races were finished. The first thing I got was my towel. I dashed to the changing room and got changed as fast as I could. All of Moana Syndicate met outside on the field. Next minute Koka Ngaire called my name for the role. We hopped on the bus and drove back to school.

We've made an amazing start to this year. This last few weeks have been crazy! We've been doing Quickwrites, swimming, buzz groups, art pieces, road patrol refresher, weetbix tryathlon, we learnt all about Waitangi Day, We all got our chromebook licenses.We've learnt how to take care of our chromebooks (Kawa of Care) and so much more. 

In the first week we played People Bingo and we learnt more about each other. I think we're all getting the hang of how to work around here. 

The year 6's all get a opportunity to go surfing and learn more about it. And our school is very lucky because we are right opposite the beach. We also had Sonia Keepa come and tell the year 6's about ocean safety. 

 I think 2020 will be a great year filled with great opportunities and so much more.
