Why Swimming Is Important!

Why Is Swimming important? Swimming is important because it is a good physical sport and it Keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body. builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness. helps maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs. It is also important to swim because of climate change, islands are sinking because of climate change.

Do you have to pay for swimming lessons? well for some schools people have to pay for swimming lessons to be taught how to swim. But these days some schools are very lucky to have free swimming lessons everyday and anytime. Kids from around the world are now suffering and drowning because they have a school that doesn’t have any swimming lessons to be taught to any of them.

Now that the sea levels are rising and increasing everybody needs to learn how to swim to survive something bad that will happen to them. Sometimes young children really want to learn how to swim but they have to pay. I’ll say some schools in New Zealand that have free swimming lessons are very lucky. because When Large natural disasters happen you are able to swim to safety and save yourself. 

My Weekend

I started my weekend by going to a swimming lesson on Saturday, laps after laps until my time was finished. After that I changed myself and my family and I traveled to Sylvia Park to eat lunch at Casablanca. Casablanca is a wonderful Arab Berbers restaurant, I ordered a chicken kabab with a side of fries with aioli sauce which was delicious but I also saved room for desert, for desert I ordered a vanilla ice cream with baklava as soon as I took a bite my taste buds explode with flavor. After we headed home with a full stomach and we ended the day by relaxing for the rest of the day.    

Water Fun Day.

Yesterday Glenbrae school had an event called water fun day. Water fun day is where everyone in Glenbrae School contributes to this event. Everyone has to represent their house colour by wearing their house colour clothing. On our water fun day we had 5 challenging activities to participate in, in each activity there's a timer so you and your team how to try and go your fastest. Everyone gathered around the courts and assembled themselves to their house groups like Rata, Kowhai, Kauri and Nikau. To win the battle you and your house have to fill these buckets of water. The house with the most water wins.

Our first activity was a “Water Slide” hosted by Miss Autohiva. How to play is You have to slide down this slide with a cup full of water and you have to try your best to not spill any water out of the cup.

Our second activity was called “Lava Flow” Hosted by Miss Kyee. The instruction to play this game is you scoop water with a cup and jump into these hoops trying not to spill any water. Then after jumping you run up to the buckets and fill them up with what's left in the cup.

Our third activity was “Up And Over” Miss Repata  how to play is you have a sponge that’s soak full of water and your house has to make a path and 

Our fourth activity was “Holy Moly”  hosted by Mr Nath. In this activity there is a cup that has holes in it when you fill it up you need to run as fast as you can before your cup is empty. There are also cones that you have run in between then you can fill up your house bucket.

Our last activity was “Water Bomb” hosted by Miss Smith. You and your team has to pass a water balloon and try not to pop it by dropping it once you done that you can run to the bucket and fill up a cup and run to your house bucket and fill it up.

Once it was over we were left with points we rallied up back to the the courts and the teacher annonce what team won which was Nikau but we had fun and we’re all winners.
