Medley Swimming Relay in the Olympics

As far as we know in the olympics,the medley relay swimming event is one of the most popular spectator sports. It involves four types of swimming strokes in one order. Each stroke is carried on by a different team member.


The aim of the event is to backstroke two 50 meter lanes and when they get to the first 50 meters they flip and kick off the wall.Then when they finish they touch the other end with their hand and then the other teammate dives in and do the 100 meters and then the routine goes on and on until you and your team finish

...The clothing that is needed in the medley relay competition is a swimsuit, jons or anything that cover their parts. What equipment they use is lane ropes to keep the swimmers,not getting into the other swimmers way. They swim in a 50 m pool.

… The skills that you need to compete is the right movements, great agility,strength and fast and powerful kicks.That will surely make you an olympic athlete...

The medley swimming event is very cool to watch on t.v but would be way better in real life.One of the athletes that I would like to be is Michael Phelps

Swimming is the Bomb!

 

  In the past few days we have been swimming at the Glen Innes pools. Once we got there we had to swim, but it was to see what group we were in. At the end I was in group 3 the advanced group.

Our first activity was called “ kicking “. We had to kick on the floaters and go all the way to the other end of the pool. The thing about that is it was really really tiring. The most shocking thing of all is that we do it every day!!!

The favorite exercise I liked, was the 9 o'clock change. The 9 o’clock change is where you lay on your back and put one hand in the water, then one hand behind you. After that you have a push off and then your hand behind you,springs up into the air and then in a slit moment you put your “air hand” on the water and flip your other hand behind you.

Sounds hard but when you get the hang of it, it’s really not that bad as you think it is!!! Finally it’s the end of the lesson ohh but we still have a little bit of time left and we spend it on free time!!! My friends and I were lifting each other and slamming them into the pool.

I love swimming because im really good at it and it gets my stamina up and if you're hot (In temperature) it’s another way to “cool off”

Camp

“Yes It’s CAMP!!!!”I shouted to myself. Did you know that from years 5 to 8 classes they have their own camp at Point England School. It’s starts mostly every year and mostly at the start of the term. It’s my turn and I am a year 6 so I will get the opportunity to be a leader

What I was most looking forward to at camp was the Get Lost.In kayaking I came second place in rowing   but not far behind. At last Get lost I was nearly first place I really enjoyed it because once you play you get an adrenalin rush and you race so fast to get all 10 tasks done. Kayaking was cool because I fell into the sea and out of my kayak. Then we had a bombing competition off the groin aka it's a large and kind of long rock.

. The Funniest moment at camp was when Francis,my friend hit a rubbish bin!!! It occurred because our camp teacher told us that who ever can do the goofiest walk all the way to their tent will get some points. Then Francis pulled my shoulders down and then we went past the bin and “wack!!!”.

 My Mum and Dad came down to help with the dinner and my Grandpa (Pop) and my cousins came down to see me every night!!! I can’t believe that he took time off to see me...

My goal was to be a very well and organised camp leader. In the end I thought that I was good but could do a bit better at arriving to the events. I loveee camp because it gets me away from my annoying sister!!! That’s what I like about camp and plus, it was only $60 dollars!!! For two nights and three days that was the best and I mean best camp I’ve ever been to.

Learning to write Introductions that hook in my audience

I have been learning to hook my audience in.
Here are 3 introductio0n options, which one do you like best?

1. Sunday night I have a mix of dreams and nightmares, so I keep waking up and getting tired and tired and more tired. Finally I have a dream, and straight after 30 seconds (Not exact)
“Splat!!! goes my dream” Now you know how my Monday mornings are.....


2. Every Mondays I get up half asleep. Something that perks me up is a very nice FRIGHT!!!!
I wish someone would just scare me every time I wake up?


3. Mondays are so suffering, It’s like having a Christmas present so awesome then you realize it’s just a dream. Straight after that I then say it was just a dream. Then I groan in agony!!!
