Warm wakefeld pool

On Wednesday the Middle syndicate went to the Wakefield pool. We did orientation. Our first activity was boards and noodles. Then we went to the life jackets. We got to jump in the pool. It felt quite freaky because we jumped in the deep end and then we floated on our back and our tummies. After that we went to buckets and chilly bins. It was lots of fun. By Kayla

Gala & Auction By Jade and Chloe

On Sunday it was the Brightwater School Gala. Jade's Mum was selling real fruit ice cream and Chloe's Mum was selling hot dogs. There was candy floss , fizzy drinks and a heap of toys. There were also games up the back field, that were lots of fun. One of the games was a bungy rope and you had to touch the cone to win the fizzy,another game was a bouncy obstical course and the noddy train. There was a game called hoop la and you had to get the hoops over the sticks to get the prize. The ice creams tasted like berries and vanilla. There was a silent action. It had gates and a jungle gym. It also had lots of vouchers and tickets. At the end there was some dancers doing Zumba to the music. I liked the music because it was catchy and funky.

Nicholas went to the farm store first were his Mum was working. He got a packet of sherbit and a lolliepop. When Jamie was wondering around, he bumped into Trent . (Jamie and Nichola's friend.) Me and Trent got some candyfloss from Nicholas' mum and ate it on the playground. Meanwhile Nicholas and his sister bumped into his brother who had brought two walkie talky toys. Then Jamie lost Trent and went to the toy shop . He found a Smiggle pencil case for 50 cents! Jamie went to the book store and left the pencil case there then he saw Trent walk by the book shop and we went to spy on the train then he met Daniel and his mum let Jamie and Daniel on the train.

Wakefield School Pool By Jazmine and Skylah

On the 22nd of March we drove to the Wakefield Pool.We are going to get split up in 3 groups . First we did noodles and boards. Next we did life jackets, then we did floaties.

Yesterday the Middle Syndicate went to the warm Wakefield pool. There were three activities. First we did noodle floating. It was to see if we can float with noodles and stuff. Next we went to the deep end for the life jackets. I was freaking out but I gave it a go. Then it was all fine. Next we moved on to floating in the shallow end of the pool. We had buckets and bottles. We had five minutes free time then we got out of the pool and got changed and went back to school. We had heaps of fun at Wakefield's refreshing, exciting deep pool!

Water Slide By Kynan

Yesterday we went on a water slide. It felt exciting because I went very fast down the water slide. I
hit my head on the second go because I was leaning down. I skidded faster on the mat when Pete put dish liquid on the mat. I am lookinh forward to swimming in a warm pool next week!

Water Slide By Tayne

In Room 7 we had a special day. We got to go swimming and then we got to go on the water slide. It was fun but as well, cold! It felt like I was riding a motor bike as fast as I could. At the end of the water slide I slid into the ditch. Pete put some dish washing detergent on to make us slide faster! It was a cool way to finish swimming. Next week we are all going to the Aquatic Centre in Richmond for 10 days of swimming lessons. It better be warm!!!!
