Year 4 News

From Georgina, Year 4 teacher

Splish!  Splash! 

Year 4 have been making a splash at the North Melbourne pool this week as we dive into our swimming lessons. Thankfully the weather has been perfect for a dip in the cool pool. 

This is what we thought about the program:

Splash! I feel bubbles as trapped air goes past me, like schools of fish are passing by. I put my head above water to take a breath and feel the cold breeze swirl around my face. By Pareen.

In swimming we have been doing all types of strokes like backstroke, chicken, star, soldier and also freestyle. We have been diving into the pool and having heaps of fun. By Marley.

Splash! I leapt into the freezing water as the swim teacher told us about what to do. When swimming I raced to the other side as quickly as a dolphin. I am looking forward to my swimming lesson today. By Raj.

Splash, splash, splash went the cool summer water. Walking to swimming was amazingly hot but it was worth it as going to the cool pool felt wonderful. By Akmam.

Splash! The water hit my face as I jumped in the cold water. I was freezing cold. Swimming was the best! I got to learn new things such as freestyle and backstroke. I really enjoyed it, I love coming across this new journey. By Asma.

Splish Splash! Kids cannon hall into the pool frantically as the sun shines brighter than ever! There are amazing swims like freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Swimming is where the fun takes flight. By Johnson.

Whoosh! I fly through the air to descend and make a big SPLASH! The cool water grabs me to the floor to make me push up to the top. By Emina.

I leapt into the water and swam to the end of the pool. My face was a s cool as a cucumber. By Vivienne.

Splash! I jumped into the pool and the water was freezing. Suddenly, it felt warmer and I enjoyed creating puddles of water. By Mundell.

Boom! I jumped into the water, it was so deep. There I was enjoying my life with the heat and I was able to swim. Swimming was so much fun. We learnt new techniques and my teachers were very nice. By Mary.

Splash! Splash! As I dive in the freezing water! Swimming to the end of the pool while getting times. Yay! My time is ten seconds. This is the best day of my life! By Ronit.

Splash! Freezing water freezes my torso, then my chest, lucky it's a hot day. I get better with every stroke. Freestyle, backstroke, you name it, we did it. By Max.

Splash! I jumped into the cold embrace of water after trudging in the hot air. Swimming was great this term (besides the fact that we had to walk there). We got to do freestyle, backstroke and race each other having a fun time. By Lucas W.

Splash! I dived into the cool water. My body plummeting to the bottom of the pool. This was the best part- diving. By Simon.

Splash went the water as I lunged into the pool. My favourite thing in swimming was learning tumble turns and diving. I can't wait to hop in the pool in a years time. By Lucas H.

Go! I dive into the cool water, the teal liquid surrounding me like a blanket. I twirl in the water, sending ripples to the surface. Giddily, I haul myself out of the water and jump in line. Diving was the BEST! By Charlotte.

I got in and it was freezing! I dunked under the water and it was amazing. My favourite part is when we got timed, it was really fun. By Frankie.

Splash! I hopped into the pool. The freezing water whirled around me as I dived in. By Miranda.
