Swimming Sports

-
Hello everyone,

This is a little bit of what I was feeling before in and after my races.

My heart was beating waiting to dive I could feel my goosebumps tingling as I was about to dive off the block at Swimming sports. On YOUR MARKS....... get SET! ..... BANG. Off I go into The pool SPLASH! I felt like I did a sharp dive into the pool I was confident that I would get a placing. All I needed to do was put my game face on and go faster. I hit the wall and did a tumble turn. Now I have got my game face on and am ready to freestyle to the end I touch the wall BAM! I am feeling the vibrant energy. Looking around I felt confident and not at all nervous I was proud I finished the race even if I do not get a placing! When the whistle blew I hoped out of the water I get handed a 3rd place card I am so happy! I got into the finals race I am so excited and the tiniest bit nervous But I know I am going to finish my finals race it does not matter if I do not get a placing

Here is a photo of me waiting for my finals and swimming

Hello everyone, As you know New Zealand is in Level 4 of lockdown.  So I have been staying safe at home.  I have been doing lots of walking and biking around the neighbourhood, and keeping up my fitness in any way possible! Painting My sister and I have also been painting. Painting has been very fun.  We have painted lots of boxes and making them into 'Letterboxes'.  Which has been very fun to try out. I painted a big yogurt box lids, and I also painted two boxes, one of the boxes was really thin and really long it was used to hold the lining in, and the other box used to hold bottles, it was the box I made into a letterbox. The decoration on the yogurt lids and the lining box was rainbow and on the other box, it was splashed with different colours! Decoration Easter has recently been too as you know.  So we decorated the house Easter themed. It was very fun to decorate the house! As a family, we decorated with old stuff that was in the attic, in the a...

  Hello everyone,  last week the Hillary Hub and I went to a school camp to Wainui. Wainui is close to Akaroa.  We started off with the bus ride over there. I had a front seat next to Greta ( my friend ).  When we got there we went and had a look at our bunk rooms. Bunk Rooms: I had a very good bunk room in my bunk room I had my friends Maddie, Meg M and Hazel. It was a nice quiet bunk room. We got to sleep well although we did have noisy neighbours running around and giggling on the first night, but we did have good sleep. Activities: The activities were fun the one I was most scared about was abseiling. The one I was most excited for was Kayaking. High Ropes: I enjoyed learning how to belay and to feed to rope out and in, we also learned how to coil the rope. My favourite was probably feeding the rope through. The climbing part was a bit scary although I did not get to do much climbing as we had to take turns in a 4, overall I love learning how to do it all. Kayaki...
