The Rainbow Bird

Long, long ago there were birds that were not colourful, they lived in the trees. They were jealous because the butterflies and the flowers were colourful but not them. They tried to put colour on their skin but it kept falling off because the rain came down.  There was a rainbow, they  looked at it, it was colourful, but something was destroying it. A bird from heaven came and he told them to go with him to save the rainbow and some of them came with him to the rainbow. They saw roaches destroying it and they began to fight . Ssome Birds were falling because they were tired of flying and some of them ate the roaches. The birds won, then the rainbow was new again and the birds went through the rainbow and turned colourful.  After they went back the other birds were jealous because they were colourful. If they had gone too they could of got colourful too.

Swimming Lessons

Two weeks ago our swimming pool arrived to our school and when the builder finish the swimming pool room 6, 5, 4 and room 3 went to have a swim. When we went inside the pool it was the first group to go inside and it was Misiotei, Petra, Patrick, Victoria, Christopher, Rosalina and Viliami.

After their swim it was the second group to go and when we went inside there it was a little bit cold but warm a little bit. We saw an instructor inside and her name Jillian and on some other days it was Kevin. When Jillian was there she taught us new lessons like how to kick, float, glide, freestyle and

arm circles.

Jillian taught us how to kick our feet and make it to the other side of the pool. When we were learning our arm circles she told us to “to put your arm up to the top like you're touching the sky and put your arm down like a circle then back”. We were versing each other with arm circles.

It was awesome having swimming lessons.
