Swimming angelfish 2019

I'm back!

My school had swimming sports on Tuesday 26 February.  My friends and I had so much fun swimming, talking and playing. This is me and my friend Miriam. Miriam is the girl in the swimming cap and I am the one next to her. I didn't win a placing but Miriam got into the semifinals. It was a long day having to watch and do some of the races. I felt that I had done better than last year. My stroke was beautiful and I did two lengths of the pool not just one. At the end of all the races we got free play in the pool for 15 minutes. When we got back to school we had missed most of our lunch and I was starving. In the end it was a good day, so I hope you have a good day too.

2019 hamanatua Stream

Are we there yet ? I moaned. "Yes" said my friend. "We will be there in 2 minutes".
2 minutes later ...

"Ok everybody get in a group of 3 or 4 and make your way up to the top of the stream".

 When we got to the top it looked like a field of grass and weeds but if you looked closer you could see some of the native trees.
My class and I walked around stomping on all of the weeds and grass to flatten down all of the grass so that we could see all of the native trees because we needed to pull all of the weed out of the ground and with the mulch which is a dirt that keeps the roots warm and moist. It took about 3 and a half hours to do. It wasn't an easy job but it looked great in the end. See you next time.
