Swimming

 

One of my hobbies is swimming. So I have to practice it like all hobbies.

I go to  Barracuda Castle Park to practice swimming.

Swimming is one of my favourite things to do, but I only like free swim.

Swimming is on of the ways to get fit,(which is one of the reasons I'm doing swimming.)

Another reason is because I only do school sports and don't do any other sports so that is why I do Barracuda.

Swimming is one of the events in the Olymics.Swimming includes:swimming togs, hat, goggles and fins there is more stuff

but those are the main things for training (at least at my swimming club.)

There is loads of strokes in swimming but the main 4 are freestyle or frontcrawl,backcrawl, beststroke and butterfly.

Brestroke is a based on a frog and the bottom half of butterfly is like a mermaid except a bit faster or just like a dolphin.

In swimming you can can do tumbleturns, handstands and dances.
Diving is also included in swimming, if you are terrible at diving like I was there is only one thing to say
Practice diving like I did that is the only way to get better at things.
You can also play games in the pool to help you get better at things like doing races with the waddle
( the big floaty thing you're able to sit on,)balls and divings sticks you sometimes use hula hoops.
Swimming at the sea is very dangerous as you could drown or swim to far that a dangerous animal can aproach you.
Here are some safety tips on water safety: always swim in between the red and yellow flags,
if the water is dangerous at some points there will be a red flag to tell you no swimming at this area.
if you need help stick your hands in the air and shout for help to the lifeguard.Don't swim to far that you won't have the
energy to swim back.Don't go where your parents can't see you.
 

Marvellous Creations

 

 

 

 

Marvellous Creations is chocolate with different things inside like jelly popping candy or cookie dough. My favourite one is the jelly popping candy. The jelly makes a popping noise after you chew but only lasts for a couple of minutes.You get Marvellous Creations

at gas stations but not at Tesco's, It's really weird.I only had two flavours so far but I hope to try to get different flavours.

On the ads though they only show the cookie dough and the jelly one the ones that I had. My mum thinks that they won't

be around for long like most stuff companies makes like MalTEASERS.

 The company that makes Marvellous Creations is Cadbury.

The first time I had Marvellous Creations was in the car at school my mum found it  at a gas station on the way to school.My frein really wants to have the chocolate because of the ads she sees in the car.

Last year one of my school trips was to the Caffrees chocolate factory and at the gift shop they sold the jelly popping candy.

The jelly popping candy chocolate tastes like milk chocolate with different flavoured jellys.

The cookie chocolate is milk chocolate with a cookie inside.

   

ipad mini

 

I like the ipad mini. I got it for Christmas to share with the family. It has a red cover.

I use it to research my homework and help me with my division.I also use it to take pictures.

I mainly play games on it though.My family made sections for the games for example

the action games would go into the action group,but if it was a pet game and a puzzle game it would go into the puzzle group

I also like to read on the ipad mini on ibooks.I'm in the middle of reading Sherlock Holmes the full series.

There is a school app which helps me keep track of everything going on at school.

We use the clock app to time 30 minutes so we know when our turn on playing the ipad mini is over.

My favourite game on the ipad mini is Campus Life, Tapped Out, Subway Surfer and Candy Crush Saga.

I like to watch Angry Birds Toons there is always a new toon in 7 days or 4 days.

My sister says that HayDay rules and it is her favourite game.My cousin found it on the app store in Japan and sister started playing on

our cousin's iphone then when we got the ipad mini I downloaded it on th ipad.

My brother likes to play Angry Birds. He brings the ipad mini to restaurants and on the way to school.

Our dad likes to play Kingdom of Conquest we also play Kingdom of Conquest 2(KC2) but I don't play KC2 anymore

so my brother does the batles for me and my dad does the rest.

I wish we had more gigabite because our ipan mini is almost full.

The schools ipads have 64 gigabite and our ipad mini has only 16 gigabite.
