The Rocket

Splash! Splash! Splash! I heard as everyone else was falling in the water. Everyone cheered. They thought of saying, "Fall! Fall! Fall!" because everyone saw that this person was gingerly going across. Lots and lots of kids suddenly thought that she was really talented so we all said, "Go, Brylie! Go, Brylie! Go, Brylie! Yay, she made it to the end. 


It was my turn. I had the butterflies, so I gingerly went on the rocket. "Fall! Fall! Fall!" I was cracking up. It was as slippery as a water slide. I was almost at the deep end. I was freaking out because I almost fell on the side of the rocket. Stomp! Stomp! Stomp! I started running because I had got the hang of it, then I slipped and fell in the water. I climbed out and had another shot.

Right after the rocket, some of us got free time. Splash! Splash! Splash! The water kept on getting in my eye. It went bong, then I went under the water and gave it an eye wash. It felt much better. After that, I went to play with Olivia. There were these toys that could squeak. Olivia and I were playing tag with them. "You're in, Olivia," so I got the toy. Whenever you're the runner, you get the toy but, if you get tagged, you get the toy. We both kept on saying, "Squeaky."At the end of all of that, Holly, Michael and I collected up all of the toys. I looked under water with my goggles. Most of the toys were already in the bucket. It was really hard because we had to look all over the pool to find all the small pieces in the water.
We all just found out that there were no more because I looked all over the place and there was nothing so that was a waste of time.

Swimming 2016


Splash, splash, splash! On one sunny hot day, we all had swimming practice.
Splish! Splosh! Spash! "Ooohh, it's cold," everyone was saying.
Everyone was full of excitement. Yay! I was so excited, my head was going to boom off like a rocket blasting off. The teachers were Ashley and Shenagh. They were the two people who taught us swimming skills. I was freezing like ice. Once I got under the water, I was completely fine. Ashley and Shenagh set out some rules. No going under the water when they are talking. They taught us to do rocket arms, gliding in the water and backstroke. Ashley took one half of the class and Shenagh took the other half. My friend and I went with Shenagh. At first, we all did rocket arms. We stretched our arms as high as we could and we looked like rockets. Shenagh and Ashley called out name by name by name. Splash! Splash! Splash! Everyone kicked as hard as they could to the other side of the pool, then we all glided through the bright blue water. I pushed the wall like a rocket taking off.
