My Plan for a Recount
Title of my story:       
Swimming with hank

Orientation: Use keywords to explain
Where
School pool
Here are some connectives you may want to use instead of THEN to move your story on:
after a while      afterwards      at once     at this moment
at this point       before that     finally     first (second third etc...)
here            in the end       lastly        later on      meanwhile
next     next time     now      on another occasion
previously       since     soon      straightaway   until then
when      whenever      while
When
morning
Who
Hank me and room 14 teacher




These are the things I am writing about in the right order: (Use keywords only - you can add details when you write your story.)

Event 1
Kickin feet = Lined up = whatever swim
Event 2
Kicking feet on tummy = chin on water = On back kicking
Event 3
Backstroke = gliding
Event 4
Out pool = get dress = learn



WALHT write a recount.
Success Criteria:
  • An orientation that describes where, when and who.
  • A sequence of events in the right order.
  • Connectives to lead the reader on ( e.g. first, next, after a while, a moment later, at last, finally)
  • A conclusion.
  • A personal comment.


Swimming with Hank
We started in the morning. First we got dressed into our togs after that we went in our school pool. me my class and my teacher and Hank were there. Hank was our swimming teacher helping us to learn to swim. our teacher was just watching us swim so that she knows if we are good or not.

We sat on the side of the pool. Hank said to kick our feet first. After we all jumped into the pool since it was so cold the pool was nice and warm. We all lined up there was one line on one side and some on the other.   

He said to do whatever swim we liked so we did it until we were at the other side. I did backstroke heaps of other
people were doing the same as me and some were doing there own thing.
So we moved on and now we did kicking with our chin on the water. Next we all did this going on our back and kicking our feet as well.

Me and everyone did backstroke but this was my second turn at this because I did it when we got to do whatever swim  we wanted. After that we did gliding so we had to do pushing of the wall who ever got the farest they won but they did not say the winner.

After all that swimming we got out got dressed and we all started learning again.        By Ella

Swimming sports

On Tuesday I went to the Aquatic center for swimming sports. I had to stay under my house tent Pompalier. My two Favourite races were fun one of them is the boat race and the noodle race. Pompalier won the noodle race.There were these races freestyle , backstroke , breaststroke , kicking with boards to.It was a hot day so we needed to have sun block so we didn't get sun burnt.I could only tuch  the bottom but just on my tip toes.Most of the races I came last but that doesn't matter.
