2D @ Osborne Primary School: Swimming

It's been a busy and tiring week in 2D. We have all enjoyed our swimming lessons as well as the walk to and from Orbit. We wrote about our time at swimming earlier this week and have concentrated on using connectives (such as and, but or because) to make our sentences more detailed and interesting. We also needed to use interesting words and think about how we can start our sentences differently to make it more entertaining to read. Here are some excellent examples:

On a cold and stormy Monday all the grade two's went swimming. It was a very wet and rainy afternoon so we had to take the bus to Orbit Swim School. I enjoyed Orbit because we had the best day ever and it was the best swim ever!

My teacher was Gary and it's easy to remember because my dad's name is Gary too! First he told us the rules then we did some swimming. First we did torpedo, second we floated, third we torpedoed again.

Monday was a very wet and stormy day and we had to get a bus because it was too wet to walk! Mum brought my goggles so then I could see under water. I like swimming because the teachers are extremely nice.

On a cold and stormy afternoon, we went swimming at Orbit. When we got there we went to the change room and got changed. Then we went to the pool and showed the swimming teachers how we swim. We had a fantastic tie at swimming because we got to jump in the pool and go through hoops to find our goggles.

It was a cold and damp day when we went to swimming. We are learning freestyle and backstroke so we get better at it. There are lots of chemicals in the pools such as chlorine. I love Orbit Swimming Pool because the teachers are extremely nice.
