BOP Swimming Sports

On the 22nd of March I traveled over to Rotarua and competed in the BOP Swimming sports. I warmed up by running to the playground and back that was like ten metres away. My first race was 50 Free and I came 2nd in that by .06 of a second. Secondly I did 50 Back and didn't do to well. I think I came about 8th or 7th, around about there. Next it was 100 Free and it was very hard because I hadn't done much training that week. Fourthly it was 100 Back and I didn't do that well in that either. But my favourite part was The relay. The first relay was a medly realy. We came 3rd in that. The second relay we came 3rd aswell but it was freestyle.

Water Cycle

I have learned that working with a buddy in another class is hard to comunicate, that a rap is like a poem and how to upload it to youtube.


I liked that I worked with a partner because she helped me a lot and we worked well together and communicate well.

The one thing that i thought was difficult was trying to talk to people in another location.

My First Month Back At School

My First Month Back At School

I have had a great first month as a year 8 at school this year. I have competed in swimming sports and did every well in it even though I pulled my hamstring. I came 1st in 50 Free bet a record, the time was 30.36, 1st in 50 Back and 1st in 100 Free. I have been trialled for the Sports Academy and I think I am going well in that. Maths: we have looked at BEDMAS (brackets, exponents, division, multiplication, addition and subtraction) and now we are looking at squared numbers. We have done a Probe test and I have got up to 12.5. I have done some writing about my history. You will find it on my online learning journal. So overal I am having a great time this month and looking forward to camp and Poverty Bay for swimming !!
