Water Safety

Every Friday for swimming we go to the Lido and we practise swimming in the pool so we get confident in the water. Ashwin, Jaykib, and Carter are in my group. We floated on our tummies to learn how to save us from drowning. The treading water was a bit hard but I managed to get it. Next we tried diving for batons. It was fun. At the end I felt like my legs were gone because they were so tired!

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl

I can recommend reading any book by Roald Dahl because they have adventure and humour in them. 

Roald Dahl has written over twenty books for kids.  They are suitable for a range of different ages.  I would recommend starting by reading some of his shorter books, like "The Twits", "Fantastic Mr Fox" and "The Magic Finger".  If you like those you will probably enjoy his longer stories like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "James and the Giant Peach".

Roald Dahl makes up funny words in his stories and his characters are unique.  The illustrations in his books are done by Quentin Blake and they really help you get an idea of what the characters look like.

The books are nice and easy to read and they are so exciting that you just want to keep on reading right to the end!

If you are interested in reading some of Roald Dahl's books, they are available at the school library or the City Library.

2016 Sixtus Lodge camp

This year on Monday the 21st 2016 we went to Sixtus Lodge for camp. Here are some of my highlights.

First was the Burma trail.It is my favorite because I like getting scared and I felt like I was in a horror movie. My other highlight was riding the horses because I liked the walk.
