Maraia - Quality Blog post challenge

 Quality Blog post challenge

Today at I decided to do Cybersmart Challenge #14. Cybersmart Challenge #14 was about helping John, John didn't yet  know how to make a Quality Blog Post, so I helped him make his blog a bit better. Since John didn't know how to make a quality post I told him how to make one. To make a quality blog you need a  Great Title you also need a brief explanation about what activity you are doing, you also need labels that are relevant to the topic. After helping out John he is now good at making Quality Blogs!

Maraia - Swimming Who, What, When, Where, Why

Swimming Who, What, When, Where, Why

During the last two weeks, St Pius X School’s classes took turns going to the YMCA Swim Magic Pools, to learn about water safety and how to swim.

At the start I felt cold and a bit disgusted because there was brown stuff on the ground and hair everywhere on the ground. The things I could already do in the water were Backstroke, float, freestyle/arm circles, streamline, dolphin kicks, breaststroke and enter safely. I hoped to get better at swimming

During our lessons we had to listen and keep our head above water when the instuctur was talking, we were learning how to be safe in water and in dangerous stiuations in water. The easy things were kicking and the hard things were breathing and staying underwater. The skills I enjoyed practicing were dolphin kicks and backstroke.

At the end I felt cold when we got out of the water because the water was nice and warm. My biggest challenge was doing backstroke. Compared to the start I am now confident in swimming. I will use these skills to stay safe in water.
