School triathlon T1 W9

On Friday we had a school triathlon.

At first we had to wait on the field, it was quite boring.

Then when it was time for us to go, we sat in rows.

I borrowed my sisters togs because I didn't take mine.

We had to swim four laps of our pool, it was very tiring.

Then we had to hop on our bikes and ride down the road.

When we hopped off our bikes we started running.

My feet really hurt because I didn't have shoes.

When we were done we had milk and a burger.

After that I went home.

Myth

Long ago, far far away… there was a special planet called Fantasy where all kinds of amazing creatures were roaming the purple land.One of the amazing creatures was a gratten called Isla. Grattens were half cat and half human and very clever. Isla had pink hair and a rainbow tail. Her eyes were sparkling stars, and her furry cat ears were as soft as a sheep.Everything else about Isla was human. The different thing about grattens though was this-they could not exist without being near their companion creature, which was always a sassecal. Whenever a gratten was born, they would be given a sassecal to be their companion for life. They would always be together and if they were separated, each of them would die. Sassecals were soft, cute creatures like cats with blue wings. It was Isla’s job to match each new-born gratten with a new sassecal. Isla would go out every day with her sassecal and go to a secret cave where there was a magical sparkling green gem which could make new sassecals.

One day Isla went to the cave and the gem was not working so Isla tapped it very hard.Suddenly it glowed and a very cute sassecal came out. But then, the gem started sprouting  lots of little weird shaped green things. Isla didn’t know this but they were plants. Isla though the plants were weird and dangerous  so using her time dance powers she created a new  planet which she called Earth and she banished all the plants to that new planet.

Isla put an enormous invisible shield on Fantasy planet so no one  from another planet could see it and therefore her world always be protected.

On the new planet the plants grew and spread and then created oxygen that future creatures could survive in.

And so that is why we have the wonderful plant-covered Earth for our home.

Swimming T1 W7

This week we were being taught how to float for two minutes in clothes and then float while getting our clothes off. I couldn't quite keep my legs up though. It was quite fun although my pants were quite big, and they kept slipping off. After I took my pants off, I took my big uncomfortable jersey off and then I chucked them out of the pool. when we got out I was very cold and started shivering soooo much!

Swimming

On Wednesday a water safety came and taught us how to survive if we fall of a boat. she taught us that we had to huddle together so its easier to be saved and seen. She also taught us the line and the chain. The chain is  where we all hold hands and form a big chain. The line is where we hold onto each others life jackets and push. The person at the end kicks. When the person at the front gets tired, they climb down to the back to start kicking.
at the end we played a game then hopped out of the pool.
