Last week of swimming

Today is the last day going to Canturbury Swim School. Last week I made my first blogpost about my goal and other stuff. My goal was to not touch the floor when I was swimming. I havn't really acheived it yet but I will one day.  Going to Canturbury Swim School is a very educational place to go because if you don't know how to swim the people that work there can help you swim which is very helpful. In the past 4 years the people there have really helped me to swim better in the water. Today was the last day of swimming and on the last day of swimming we did water safety. Today we learned to do the survivour backstroke and we had to put our hands onto our shoulders and walk off the plank like a pirate ship. We also had to learn how to pull someone out of the water if the stuck in the water without getting pulled in to. Next we had to try and take off our tops of in the water without touching the ground.

Possum facts

            Possum facts

   W.A.L.T write a thinglink or a mindmup about possums.

On Wednesday I started to make a thinglink about possums. I have got 5 facts on it that would be good if you went out into the woods or in the forest and you see a possum then you would know some of its facts. Possums would only come out at night because they hate the day light. I'm hoping that you would really leave a comment down below and enjoy the thinglink that I have made.

1.  They are eating our native plants and killing them. The reason why possums are pests is because our native trees are being eaten and been dying.
2. Slowly but surely possums are changing our forests for the worse
3. In NZ the possum is free to eat eggs by ripping off the top with its claws. The reason why it is a bad thing is because the eggs may be native birds
4. This is a bad thing because in NZ the possum is safe and in Australia the possum is in danger because there are predators to kill and feed.
5. The eye helps the possum to see better in the dark and the reason why it is a problem is because when they are out at night they can hunt for food and kill while the animals are sleeping.

Swimming lessons

Canterbury Swim School

Yesterday Ako Ngatahi went swimming. We got changed at school and we hopped on a bus. It only took 2 minutes to get there and back. There were some people that had forgotton their swimming togs. My swimming instuctor is Jade. She is teaching the long lane. When we get in the long lane pool it is very cold but once we get used to it we start the warm up. We do half an hour of swimming and then we get out. The people that are in Jades group is Me, Aroha, Jasper, Jared, Lyan and Jessica B. We use our boards and then we use no boards. Next week we will be doing something else.
My goal is to stop putting my feet on the ground when I am swimming.

Here is a video of me.
