Swimming Is Important

Everyday we have swimming.  Mrs Packer and Mrs Raj our wonderful teacher is teaching us how to swim. Swimming is very important to us because if you are stuck in the ocean you can swim and if you don’t learn how to swim you will drown and you will segregate and die, but that won’t happen if you learn how to swim.

Swimming is very important to you and It could save your life. from swimming. I am happy That I learnt how to swim and swimming is cool.

How do I get to school

I live in Otahuhu and my aunt lives in Papatoetoe. I have to wake up on 7:00 to get ready to come to school. It take about 20 minutes to come pick me up. She comes with my little cousin in the car.

It takes about 16km to get to Saint Patrick and  Glenbrae. It takes 40 minutes to get to school. You to go through Panmure shopping centre and into Saint Patricks. There is sometimes traffic when we come to school.

After we drop off my little cousin you have to go through Point England and into the roundabout and past Tamaki College. You have to make a left turn into where the diary is and you go straight, and there you are Glenbrae school.
