MY SWIMMING RECOUNT
Snap! I felt a sharp pain, my vision was blurred for a second, I could see a dark blue blur. Suddenly I felt like I was under the sea. A quiet sound rang in my ears as I threw my head out of the water. The quiet noise immediately turned to shouting.
I was told “Today we will be snorkeling I need you all to duck down and guess your partners number.” I burst under the water struggling to see my partners number. I couldn't breathe I leapt out of the water gasping for breath. I was forced to do this four times, on the third time it became fun.
We were all handed snorkles to use. I tested mine. I knelt down and magically it worked! Breathing slowly but pacing myself I worked my way towards Mr Burton. “Free time!” Mr Burton exclaimed with glee. I lay on my belly floating along peacefully.
A shocking noise suddenly rang in my ears “Time to get out.” said Mr Burton. I sighed as we took off our gear. As I walked back to class I thought about how good my day was. I had enjoyed my time in the pool.
My Holiday Story
The day was here, finally. Aunty slowly opened the door. I could see Jake the dogs eyes and I knew he wanted to get out of the car. It seemed like he had waited hours in the flaming hot car. He came out like a bullet. I sped up and ran, his collar was within reach. I held on like my life was at stake. He pulled me along onto the sand.
I ran away from Jake who was still sprinting down the beach. The water was freezing cold, it would have been perfect for a swim, if it was hot. I knew we had to get Jake under control otherwise something dangerous might happen our we might get in trouble by other people.
I sped away to Aunty and was instantly told to chase Jake again. I knew I was ready to catch him. I could see the darkness of his fur and I had already thought of a plan.
I herded Jake towards Aunty. It worked I couldn't believe it worked but I wasted our time at the beach because we had to leave. I had so much fun I never wanted to leave, or at least come back again another day.
Even though I wasted my day I still had a great one. I was so tired I slept all the way home.
