Cricket Tournament

On thursday and almost friday(it got canceled because of rain) of week six the St Francis Fire Birds played a two game of hard ball cricket. First we play St Andrews College and we lost. We played really good and I got a few runs and I bowled quiet well. Our Second game we played really good and a boy called Trent got 65 runs witch is very good if you don't play cricket. We play Breens intermediate and they had some really fast bowlers. One of their bowlers was bowling 105 kph! I faced that bowler and I scored some runs of him. Then I face a good spinner and he got me out by bowling for leg spin to a off spin. This is a good leg spin.

And off spin is when the ball will go the other way.

Swimming Lessons Week 2

After the first week of swimming they started to lower the floor of the pool from 1.4 meters to 2.0 meters. After learning breaststroke last week we started doing full lengths of breaststroke. On the third to last day of swimming we did water safety.

On the bus we had year 1 and 2 buddies so we went with them in the deep pool with life jackets on. It was horrible getting the life jackets on because we reuse the ones that were just used so they were freezing but the little kids just put on the cold ones like they were warm. Then we had to jump in first then the swimming coaches picked up the little kids and gently put them in the water. Then we survival backstroke and swam half of the pool length. Then we linked up by our hands and learnt how to stay warm at sea. Then we swam normal backstroke and normal freestyle for half a length each.

After that we tried to touch the bottom of the pool with our life jackets on and with some help of my friend Christopher, he pushed me down and just touched the bottom with the bottom of my feet. And after that it was time to get out! On thursday and friday I was at a school cricket tournament witch I'll tell you about next time!

Have You ever been on a boat that has flipped?

Swimming lessons week 1

In school for week five and six we are doing swimming lessons at QE2(to be exact Queen Elizabeth the Second) but today I'll tell you about week five swimming. So on the first day we get judged to see what group we would go in for the rest of the time. They put us into our groups and sent us to do some swimming. First we did freestyle then we did backstroke. After that we stared learning the breaststroke kick. It's hard to get your head around the idea. Next we learned breaststroke arms. We did normal kicking but with breaststroke arms. At the end of the the week we were learning normal breaststroke. Now I'm the fastest freestyle swimmer in the group. Here are the strokes we did in the first week.

Elevator Pitch.

In week four we did something called a Elevator Pitch. We did it on who wanted of a list and said why they are great. On the doc we did it on there was a table that said what would go in the box like their accomplishments and their impact on society. Here are some words from mine.

1. I think the Bill Gates is a great person because he doesn't use his money for himself he puts his money towards the largest charitable foundation in the world.

2. Bill Gates has made one of the most notable creations and apps in the world. He is great with tech and other products.

3. He was caring towards people, by using money for good others not for him.

I hope you found this interesting and leave in the comments who do you think is great?
