I found this easy because we got to research.

Swim safe

W.A.L.T we were learning to do a swimming Technic.

 Swim safe Side stroke Ronda taught us how to do side stroke. It is helpful for when you are tired of swimming and you are in a deep lake, a deep pool or stuck in the sea. You have to lie on your side so it's easy to breath and do scissor kicks.Also take your left hand and pretend that your right hand is an apple basket and pick the apple and put it in the basket.

 I also found this hard describing what you do to complete the Technic.

All about me

W.A.L.T We did a all about me.

Our all about me was fun to make because it is literally only about our personality and  passion.



 

moment in time

Yesterday we boarded a navy ship and went on a life raft with our sailor, Te. First we had to put a life jacket on and a helmet. After that we boarded a life raft.The chains slowly lowered us down. Then the boat started. I couldn't stand the awful noise but in a flash we were off making our way around the navy boat. Splash! We got sprayed by the fire hose.”Marvelous we’re wet”. WOW!!! Adorable dolphins jumping in the clear blue sea. NOOO!!! We got sprayed again, NOT COOL!!! My hands were slipping off the handle bars. I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO FALL OFF AND IT WAS GOING TO BE THE END OF US!!!
