This week we are working on using descriptive language by sharing our writing straight onto our blog.  The challenge we have is to describe a place using only six sentences. After reading the description you need to guess the place that has been described. It would really help if you say what clues helped you come to this conclusion.

1. dirty, slippery

2.posts shaped has a h

3.holes dug into the ground

4. injures to the head or nose

5. celebrating on it

6. sliding through posts

Swimming at Cameron pools and school pool

Hi bloggers James here, at the start of the first term we went swimming at Cameron pools and we practised streamline, floating on our back, floating on my front, backstroke and freestyle . The first week we Practised entering the pool safely by not making any splashes and we did some freestyle as well. I learnt that when we are in the ocean and we can't touch the ground you always need to wear a life jacket when ever you go on a boat in case you fall out and the boat sinks. I am really good at freestyle and backstroke but last year I always struggled with my backstroke and freestyle but this year I am getting better and better at backstroke and freestyle. Now my 3rd favourite thing is to do freestyle at Cameron pools and at school. I only missed swimming once but the other times I would always bring my togs and tell my teacher in the morning.

                                      This is my swimming group and Richard is a good listener.

                                            Another swimming group about to freestyle back to the end.

                                                   snorkelling on the deep side.
