Debate

On Monday the 8th of April I did my debate with Evie,Maia and Aaliyah was also meant to speak but due to difficulty she didn’t. The topic for our debate was why the government should keep supplying free school lunches. On the negative side of the debate we had Zita, Anika and Eliza. I personally think we all did an amazing job with our debate. I think that my group did good with all of our research and how we helped each other with our paragraphs. I think that I did really well with projecting the voice when I spoke. I think that next time I could do better with being more confident.

Are you a part of a dance group? Or do you just like dancing in your free time? Either way dancing is amazing.

Water Safety

Emergency Floating Techniques:

 

If you are struggling to float in an emergency situation you can easily move onto your back and lay your head back until your ears are in the water and your chin is pointing up and away from your chest. Without pushing off the bottom, arch your back, push your hips and stomach toward the surface of the water letting your body move to its natural floating position. This position helps you to stay near the surface of the water where you can rest and get a breath while waiting for help to arrive in the event of an emergency. 

 

Another technique is to find a Chilli bin, Ruby ball or other floating objects. You can use these to help you float in the water.
