Sam taught me how to do backstroke.We had to keep our arms straight and do arm circles.We had to do 3 to 4 lengths of the deep pool.We had to help each other get out of the deep end of the pool. I had a lot of fun and I got to jump off the diving board!!! Here are some pictures of the last two weeks at Canterbury Swim School.

Description Writing
For the last week we have been writing some Description Writing about a picture of a beach. Here is mine.
The water stands as still as a statue. I can feel the breeze blowing against my face.The palm tree waves to me as I walk along the peaceful beach. I hear a little wave crash against the smooth, soft sand. I look at the beautiful water. People run into the water and little kids hold ice creams. The sound of babies crying echoed through my ears.

How to Deal With Changes That Happens in Puberty (Girls)
For Topic we have been learning how to deal with changes that happens in puberty the whole class had to make a poster on Google Docs. Here is mine.
My Spectacular Narrative
At school we have been learning to write a Narrative. We had to base the narrative on a photo. Here is mine (and the photo)
It was a dark and stormy night. I was going for a walk down the wet and windy road when I saw something running towards me. I started to run but a big gust of wind blew against my face. I released I was standing on a sewer drain, and it couldn't stay in place with me standing on it! I kept walking and I saw a word written on the wall in red. Molly! I was starting to get very scared and I felt like I should turn back but something kept pulling me further. Suddenly I saw a creepy doll on the wall behind the doll was the word Molly! “The doll’s name must be Molly.” I thought.
The doll had long yellow hair, a black dress, black shoes and a brown teddy bear stuck to her hand. I went to have a better look at the doll, when I saw something move again. This time it came running at me! “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. It was still coming closer and closer. When it got to me I released it was just a little baby rat. “That must have been what I saw moving when I fell,” I thought. The rat ran away and I looked at the doll. “It must have been left here many years ago,” I said. I walked past it going closer and closer to the red wall.
When I got to the end of the cold damp sewer there was a big red wall. The wall had a wet black ladder on it. “This ladder must lead up to the surface.” I said with my hopes up. Then I realised that the baby rat I saw didn't have a family. I climbed back down the ladder and found the baby rat. I carefully picked her up and put her in my pocket where she fell asleep. I named her Ruby and I started to climb the ladder.
When I got to the top of the ladder I climbed out of another drain. I ran home and found out Ruby was very dirty and she seemed very hungry. When I finished feeding Ruby I gave her a bath in the black sink. Then I found out that she was actually a white rat! She was adorable.
The only problem was I needed to find somewhere where she could sleep. I went to the shop and got a big cage. I put the cage in my room on my desk. I filled the cage up with toys, a food and water bowl, a mouse bed and a Hamster Wheel so she could stretch her legs as I was sleeping.
