Swimming lessons

                                        Swimming Lessons 

Every year, in winter, when the pool isn't busy we go swimming. 

I was so happy to go swimming. I just love it when you do different styles. 

I was dreading it when I had to pack my bag every morning. But I did it. 

First day of swimming lessons. Classmates rushing to get first in line. I always came 1st, 2nd , 3rd or 4th. It was a close one. Using my manners in the bus.

 Sat right in the front seat waiting for my friends. Arrived at the pool. So cold clinging to my bag and jersey. Lined up as I took my shoes and socks off. We went inside with sore cold feet. Chucked my shoes in the black cube shelves. Fast walking to the girls changing room. Took the 1st locker. I got dressed in my soggy togs and my goggles. 

I've been waiting for its swim time. I lined up waiting for kids to get in the line. Listening to the swim coaches telling us to do 2 lengths of freestyle in the lan pool. So we lined up. 

It’s my turn shaking on the platform. I pushed my legs off the wall and slowly went in the pool. I clapped my hands over and around waiting to touch the end. I ran out of breath when I finished. 

When we were finished swimming. I grappeed my bag in prodness and tiredness and got dressed into our uniform.

 Once i done i got my shoes and socks on and i wonderd how did i went in swimming was i good enough.

Landscape

My art is inspired by Cromwell. I tried doing a crumbly bluey lake with steep  mountains in the background.
I tried putting it in the night, as you can see there is gold lanterns in the background.
Every winter in Cromwell we have  a light up festival  and people let out lanterns that disappear in  the night sky . I thought of doing this crumbly twisty lake with different types  of blues because we live beside a lake. When I see this art it makes me feel happy and proud of my art.

All of my times tables I know

Buzzy bee collage

I chose to do a Maori pattern on my bee because I'm part Maori. I also put it in Cromwell by the big fruit.
I tried putting detail in it. It was kinda hard but it was fun. I'm really proud of my art.
