Week 5 reflection

                   Reflection-Week 5



😀
Super happy

On Monday I went to my swimming lessons with the whole group 4. We learnt how to use a life-jacket. So their were some challenges for us. Their were challenges like to fall backwards into the water, to drop like a pencil into the water and to do the challenges together.

I felt really excited to be learning how to use a life-jacket. We shared some different ideas of when we could use a life- jacket. So some of our ideas were to use them when you are going fishing or going to have a boat ride because you never know if the boat might drown. They could be use when your in the airplane.

My next step is to learn how I could improve my swimming skills and try and swim in deep water with a life-jacket on.

My reflection about the temple

💚

Loved it!

I chose this emoji because today I went to the Fo Guang Shan temple. I was so excited because I got to be the group 4's learner helper with Mervlyn. I learnt lots over their. We learnt about the 3 G and 4 G. The 3 G is say good words, do good deeds and think good thoughts. The 4 G is giving others so they were giving others confidence, giving others joy, giving others convenience and giving others hope. We got little tattoos with a little buddha sitting on a lotus flower and on the top it has either the 3 G or the 4 G symbol. We also learnt about the story of the buddha. He became a really important person because he did all those 3 G's and 4 G's and teaching younger and older people about it. At the temple we made little origami lotus flowers. So I found out about the story of the buddha when we were watching a movie. His story was very interesting.

My next step is to learn about the buddha more and find more about his life.

Blog reflection for term 2- 1st

                              Blog reflection- 1
What- What happened?: Today I went swimming with a group of people. We went to the Otara swimming pool. This was our first swimming lesson, their's going to be swimming lessons every Monday. So I went to swimming after iBreak 1 and we went in a swimming bus which takes us there. So today we had the challenge to complete some tasks. So we had to blow big bubbles, float on the surface of the water like a starfish, blow bubbles and swim to where the coach tells us to.

So what- what was the purpose of it?:
The purpose for this was that we could get better at swimming and survive when we are far away from land. The main reason is to not drown.


Now, what- What do you want to do next?-

My next step is to do all those moves by the end of the swimming lessons.
