L.I:To learn how to swim
Today the year 4s, 5s, and 6s went to the YMCA pools. The first group that went was the year 4s then the year 5s and then the year 6s. I was in the year 5s group. We had to walk to the middle of the pool. We had to sit down and we had to do the safe entry. When we got into the pool we had to go on the island/Platform.

When we all got on to the island/platform we got a surf board that we had to hold on. We had to hold the top and then start to kick forward. Two people had to go then another 2. When we did that we had to do another lesson. Its when we have to put our hands at the bottom of the surf board. Then you start to kick off. We could do big splashes with our feet as well.

When we got onto the island/platform we did a special swimming lesson. Its when we push off and we put our eyes in the water and we have to move our hands on the surf board over and over again into we get to the island/platform. The coach picked 2 people to hop of the platform and go at the end where the deep bet is. When we got there we had to take our feet of the ground and we had to try and stay above the water.

If we touched the floor we have to restart. Then we had to get out of the pool and go into the pool where the little kids go in. Then we had to get into a circle in the pool. When we got into the circle we all turned anti clockwise. Then when we turned around we had to let go and float. When we floated the water turned us around. Then we went the other way and we did the same thing over again.

Today Mr Wong's swimming group went to the Lagoon Pools. Today for the swimming lesson was with life jackets. When we got our life jackets on we had to do the safe entry with them on. So you have to hold your nose. Put your hand over your shoulder and you hold it tight. Then you take a big step into the water. We you get into the water you start to float. We had to do the safe entry again because people wasn't doing it as she said. The when we got into the water and we had to float on our backs. When we did that jane made us all connect like a chain. When we got into a chain miss jane started to move us around into a circle. Then we had to go to the wall and we needed to move our arms and not to kick our feet. When we did that we had to beat the other person that is next to us. We then all go into a circle and we needed to hold each others back. Miss Jane will move us around when we are moving around we got to let go and float. Miss Jane counted down to three. Then we all let go and float. We even got to get into the pool and try and put your life jacket on. When your in the pool with the life jacket you need it to float in the water and you put your back on it. Then you put your arms thru. Clip it and zip it to it is tight so you can float. We even had to call out people when you are drowning. The actions for that are to put your arms and hand straight and say HELP! HELP!.

Today this afternoon year 5s went to the YMCA pools. Our coach that helped us was Kamren. In our group we had Sulia, Fau, Fanini, Lorenzo and Sione A. The things that we did was star fish, stepping into the water, safe entry, floating on our back and floating and kicking facing down. Safe entry is when you put bith of your hands on the side and then you hop inside the pool. The star fish is when you open your legs wide and your hands. The stepping into the water is when you have to stand up and take a big step into the water. When you are into the water you tuck your legs together so you wont hit the ground. The floating on your back is when you kick of the platform and then you face up and just relax. The floating and kicking is when you face up relax but just kick your legs straight. Before we went Mr Wong rolled us to see if the people are there. When we get on the bus Mr Wong has to count us so he can no that the people that were on the roll were there on the bus. Even when we hopped of the bus he has to count  us again so he cant live some people behind.
