 I am have read a book called The Longest Whale Song by Jacqueline Wilson. Its so cool. Its about a eight year old girl called Ella. Ella's mum had a baby and she ended up in a coma. A coma is when somebody is in the hospital and they can't talk and they can't move.  

 Swimming Sports
====On the first of March we had the swimming sports. We walked down to the Greytown Pools at 9:30am. The swimming started at 10 o’clock in the morning. ====

==== There were year 3’s, year 4’s, some year 5‘s, Mr Wilson, Ms Briggs, Miss Burt, Mrs Morch, mums, dads, grandparents, student helpers and two lifeguards. ====

==== We did it to show the teachers, parents and grandparents how much we have learned and to have fun. ====

==== The first event was freestyle. If you want to do freestyle you have to squeeze your fingers together and make a cup with your hands. You have to bring your hands up over your head forwards and keep your legs straight and move them up and down fast and that’s the kick. ====

====<span style="background-color: #9bff05; color: #ff242e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> The next event was backstroke. If you want to do backstroke you have to lie on your back and do the freestyle kick and bring your hands over your head backwards. ====

====<span style="background-color: #9bff05; color: #ff242e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> The final event was breaststroke. If you want to do breaststroke you have to move your hands in a circle and push them through the middle and the same with your legs. ====

====<span style="background-color: #9bff05; color: #ff242e; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;"> At the end there was an activity. On the way across the pool you had to push a ball in the water with your face with your hands on your hips. On the way back you had to push the flutter board out in front of you and do the freestyle kick with your legs. ====
