As I put my first yellow life jacket on,it hung off me.So I go another one. I put it on and it was damp and clammy and cold. Once we were all fitted with our yellow and red life jacket we were eagerly waiting for Chris to tell us to hop in the pool. Chris was a man who has come to teach as about water safety. He is from Water Safety NZ and he is going to stay here for the rest of the year.
As I first hopped in the pool Chris said “It is warm”. But it wasn’t, it was really really cold. I started screaming, my teeth were chattering and my lips were turning purple. I was on the last step I turned around and got in the half position. I was floating on the top of the water.Suddenly we had to stop because Chris put his hands on his head.
He then, told as to get in a circle and said “you have to to float on water and sing the National Anthem. Chris counted to 3 and we had to go on our back. THE END

Dear Senolita,
ReplyDeleteHaven't we been lucky having such a wonderful pool in our school grounds. Chris is a good teacher so we are lucky to have him too. I haven't worn a life jacket so I didn't know how it would feel. The water was warm when I put my hand in. I hope you enjoy the rest of your swimming lessons.
Love from Mrs Jarman
