Swimming at Cameron Pools

This week Te Waka Ako and the middle school has been going down Cameron Pools to learn how to swim. We always go down on Tuesdays, Thursdays and we have lunchtime swimming on Wednesday and Friday. When we go down to the Cameron Pools there are different pools, there's one for little kids and the ones for the bigger kids and adults.

When we went got down there we learned how to get in the pool and how to get out of the pool without using the ladder. We also learnt how to float and we learned how to freestyle. Last year the teachers had a race for the house groups. The house groups are Kea, Tui, Pukeko and Ruru. The teachers won last year, they were super quick. I wonder who will win this year? We learned that when you are at the beach and you're in the middle of nowhere, you keep swimming and if you get tired you can float on your front and back.

Waikowhai Art festival  Hi bloggers on Tuesday Waikowhai Primary had a art festival. My class in Te Waka Ako  made birds that are native to New Zealand.  The  bird I choose  was an owl and the other class was making a bird but using shapes to make the bird and the class Manuku  was making fishes  with a balloon and they covered the outside with paper.  In  Te Waka Ako we did weaving, some at a time. And my class made a house that had all the soft plastic rubbish from our school for eight weeks and we found heaps of rubbish from the whole school we filled the whole rubbish.  Now here is my photo of my sign and bird art. bye blog you later
