Learning about sentences starters

Today in Room 7, we learnt about other ways to start sentences. We watched a video from YouTube so we can get a good idea of how to start sentences, and so we can improve

Why is swimming so important

Topic: Why is swimming important 

Swimming is important, why because you never know if there will be

a flood or a tsunami or if our island is sinking due to pollution you never

know that's why we need to learn how to swim. How would you survive

a flood, tsunami and others because you can’t survive if you don’t

know how to swim.

If you swim it will keep your heart and lungs healthy because when you

swim you move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming

keeps your heart rate up and takes some stress off your body. It can build up

muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. Swimming maintains your health

weight and is healthy.

If you don’t swim then you could never know how to escape an island when it

is sinking or when you are in a flood and your holding on for dear life but you

got swept away from all the water coming at you. You could never survive unless

you know how to swim. That is why teachers at our school push us all to swim so

you know what to do in an emergency.

Swimming

In the morning half of room seven went and changed into their togs. I was so excited

to go swimming mainly because I like to swim but also to improve and maybe use my

skills for when I get lost at sea and if I do then I wouldn't be worried because I know how

to swim. our deputy principal Mrs Raj came and took us people who are swimming down

to the swimming pool so we can get started on our lessons.

The first thing we did was hold on the railing and do little kicks and hand movements

for freestyle just for a little while then we got into pairs of three and freestyle all the

way to the end of the pool we have to do three strokes then take a deep breath so

we can keep on moving and keep on going till your atthe end then swim back to the line.

After that we did some floating and Mrs Raj told a story about this samoan guy and

how he was stuck at sea and all he did was float for three days until the helicopter

found him and he was safe so we practiced our floating skills but we only did it for

just a little while. 

Then we practiced holding our breath for a long time. The longest one to hold their

breath was my friend Kalotia. She did it for only 15 seconds, but I couldn't hold my

breath because my friend Dwyane kept on making me laugh under water so I lost

my breath.

After holding our breaths we got free time but only for 30 seconds because there

are other classes that are coming to swim. It was still fun even though it was only

30 seconds after that we all got out of the pool and went and got changed then

walked up to class and got on with our work.
