Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteMe and Rose have enjoyed the safety program and being in the water. I have improved on freestyle and Rose has improved on bress-stoke. Giorgi has found Jono hard to compete with in swimming and Rose didn't like doing back-stroke. Learning to swim is important because you don't wanna drown.

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the water safety and snorkelling because they were really fun.
I have improved my technique in breath stroke.
I have found doing so much freestyle challenging because it's not my strongest stroke any more.
It is very important to learn to swim so that you know how to survive if you fall of a boat because you dont want to drown.

Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteFor swimming I have enjoyed how to do water safety.
I hope I've improved my swimming techniques because I know how to swim.
During school swimming I found it not challenging because I listen to the instructions carefully.
I think its important to learn swimming because one day you might not know what will happen like a tsunami can hit any time or when your at the beach you wont know how to swim and there's a chance you can die/drown.
Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteGrace and Hayley think that swimming is really fun and it's a shame that swimming is finishing in a week.
Grace: I have improved on my freestyle because I can go a lot faster and I go with the water.
Hayley: I have improved my breathing and my freestyle because I can hold my breathe for longer now and I can go faster than before.
Me and Hayley think that Just being in a group with muppets is challenging.
Grace: I think that Swimming can save your life so that is why we learn how to swim and swimming is really fun!
Hayley: because when you are stranded in sea you know what to do.
Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteThe thing that I enjoy about swimming is having fun and trying your best.I have improved on my breathing in swimming,I found it challenging but now I have overcome it. I think it's important to swim because it can save your life or you can just have fun.
Hi Stephanie

It is important to swim because you can stay alive in the water.

Hi Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed learning useful tips about being safe in the water. I also enjoyed snorkeling.
I think I have improved heaps in snorkeling because I can now blow out the water from the pipe, and I couldn't do that before.
Something I found challenging was getting my life jacket off and on in the pool, but I now know useful tips on how to get it off easier.
I think swimming is important because you need to know how to keep your self save in water and you need to know how to swim properly.

Hey Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed the water safety. I hope I've improved because then I will know how to swim. I found yesterdays swimming lesson a bit hard because the snorkel was a bit annoying. I think it's important to learn how to swim because you might not know what to do.

Hello Ms. Thompson.
ReplyDeleteWhat I've enjoyed about swimming is the weightless feeling in the water and snorkling.
I haven't really improved because I've already done this before and im doing lessons at Tawa pool on Saturday already.
What I've found challenging was breathing through your mouth when snorkling.
It's important because it's New Zealands way of life.
From Jullian

Hi miss Thompson,
ReplyDeleteI think that swimming is really fun and tiring and it's a shame that it only lasts for what seems 10 minuets.swimming is great exercise and can be a talent or a hobby.swimming for me would be a hobby.
I have improved on my breaststroke and my tumble turns.my timing has improved to.
Swimming can teach you how to survive in the ocean and rivers and any kind of water.It's also great that schools help with swimming lessons too.

Hey Stephanie
ReplyDeleteI injoyed hanging out with my friends and Nate Because he is in my group.
I dont know if I have improved or not but me and Nate are the fastest in the group.
I found the jellyfish one challanging at start because I have never done it before but now Im really good at it
Its important to learn to swim because if yor ever in the beach or something you need to know how to move around or you will sink and die
From Nick
What I have enjoyed about swimming was learning different techniques. What Corban has enjoyed was having fun.
ReplyDeleteYes I have improved on my swimming because I used to not know how to do it but then we kept doing it and then I got the hang of it.
Corban improved his free-style because at he start of the swimming lessons he didn't know how to do it but he kept going and he did it.
What Me and Corban found challenging was the breathing.
Me and Corban think it is important to swim so if you fall into he water and you don't know how to swim because didn't have swimming lessons then you will drown. But if you did you did having swimming lessons you will survive unless you get eaten by something.
From Quintin & Corban
Hi Stephanie
