SWIMMING

We had to answer some questions about safety swimming. Mr Harris gave each of us a sheet and we had to complete it. The people who didn't have swimming togs had to answer some questions about improvised (make something out of whatever is available) floatation.

What safety device do you wear when you are in a deep pool, or sea?
Wear a life jacket.

Why should you try to stay with a capsized boat?
So you can flip it over, get on it and sail to shore.

I feel like a water safety expert now.

Thanks to Hosannah for checking my work.

MANAIAKALANI FILM FESTIVAL

My favourite movie was The Test, by room 18, Pt England School. The main characters are Dillon, Starford, Rihan, Kingston, Brook and Jephte. My other favourite movie was by, Jordenne a.k.a Jojo, Sela and Iron, they were also in the movie. The movie is called More.

At the Manaiakalani film festival last night I watched, Pt England, Glen Brae, Glen Innes, Tamaki College, Tamaki Intermediate and other schools.

We had to get out of the film festival, because there was a college video that was inappropriate for us kids.
