Friday Fun
What a busy term so far. Room 14 has been learning to dance. We 've been going to the hall on Friday mornings, with the rest of the Year 4's, learning different ways to move our bodies. It has been heaps of fun.
Swim Sports Day
On your marks, set, clap... What a great time we had on Swim Sport Day. Check out some of our recounts about the day and the moment in time photos.
Pushum, I shot out as fast as I
could, pushing with all of my might. As we passed the flags I got a bit more
confident. Bump, I hit the edge of the pool and I finished second. When I got
out of the pool I was as cold as an ice cube. Luckily I dried off and put my
shirt on. Then I got some blue face paint and a blue hat and also a sign! I was
cheering as loud as I could! “Go Wainoni, Let’s Go,” I shouted. When we walked
back to our class I wrote a whole story about it.

I was at the edge of the pool,
holding confidence in my hand. “WWWWW!” The whistle blew. I popped in the pool,
it was cold at first, then a strong breeze came and I froze for a split second.
I got into position then… Bam we were off. It was all quick thoughts, arms up,
arms down, etc, etc, legs up, legs down, etc, etc. “Splash, splash, splash.” By Callum
On a sunny Tuesday morning all
the year 4 classes went down to go swimming outside for swim sports. When it
was my turn, I jumped into the water. I
felt eels in my stomach, forward flips, backflips and swirls, and everyone was
shouting. “WHOA, Go Wainoni!! AOOOOW!” The next thing I heard was the whistle
and then Bang!! I was off like a streak of lightning. I couldn’t hear the crowd
anymore. I was too fast. Oh no, I think I am going to hit the wall? But… I
didn’t, I came 1st! Wow, I was jumping all about. I couldn’t stop.
And I don’t know where the eels had gone?![]()
On a windy Tuesday morning we
lined up on the grass for swim sport. Suddenly Mrs HJ called out 8 year old
girl’s freestlye. Goosebumps slowly crawled up my back. Everybody started
cheering. It felt like my tummy was going to explode. My eyes stared at the
pool. Then I had to get in the pool. It was as cold as the Arctic Ocean. The
clappers went and I raced like a rocket to the end of the pool. My heart was
pumping really hard like an elephant jumping on my chest. I finally reached the
end of the pool. What a relief! I came second! I still had one more race but I
wasn’t nervous because now I had experienced it before. My second race was
breaststroke. The same thing happened except when I looked to the side, no one
was there. Although they were behind me I still tried my best. WOW I came 1st!!!
What a great day I had coming 1st and 2nd. I can’t wait
till next year swimming sport.
One sunny Tuesday it was swim
sport day. We waited for everyone to come. First it was the eight year old boys
in freestyle. I was in it. Everyone was cheering loudly. They did their house
colours chants. The sky was blue and the clouds were rising. I felt I would
explode. I was so nervous. I had butterflies in my stomach. Wheees went the
whistle. Bree, bree, bree went my nerves and now in the pool. Bang went the
claps. I was off like a rocket. The other people were gaining on me but they
weren’t fast enough. My heart was pumping as fast as lightning. Bang went my
hand touching the wall. I looked at my fingers. They were already wrinkled. I
came first. I was proud. By George

I ran down the grassy hill and
sat on one of the rusty benches waiting for my turn at swimming sports.
Suddenly all the 8 year olds gathered to do freestyle. Next it was my go, my
face frightened with fear, goose bumps shrivelled up my legs. I hopped in.
Splash! My heart was beating like a cheetah running. Bang! I had to start
swimming, so I swam. Everybody started cheering wildly. I could hear them
cheering when I was under water. I made it finally to the end of the pool. I
got out and snuggled into my towel. I shrivelled up. I said to myself, that
wasn’t that bad at all. After a few minutes I got changed. “Phew wee,” I said.
That was a trying day.

Last Tuesday it was amazing hot
and I was excited for our school swim sport day. There were flutter board,
backstroke, freestyle and breaststroke races. As I hopped into the pool, I
realised it was freezing. I had goose bumps all over. For a second I froze.
Then I heard the clapper go, that was it, we were off. My heart was pounding as
if I was winning. I reached the end but came second. As I was going back to my
spot the next race started. I realised that one of my friends was in that race.
I cheered as loud as a lion. I even had a pompom. Next it was my go again and
my friends were cheering for me. I felt as strong as a shark. I even felt so
good I started off like a stingray. Soon swim sports was over and sadly I did
not make it into inter-school. Swim sports are the best.
