Greek Myths

This week we have been looking at Ancient Greek myths. This week we have been looking at the myth, Perseus and Medusa
Once a fisherman was fishing and found treasure chest. He opened the box and found a boy and his mother. They got took to the king and stayed there for a number of years. The king loved the boys mum and wanted him out of the picture so he sent him away to kill Medusa and bring him back Mudusa's head but the king knew he would fail so when he got there. The gods gave him some gifts. When he got inside the cave he didn't dare to look at Medusa so he just looked into his shield and used a sickle to chop her head off. She layed there on the floor dead. Perseus saw very cute girl handcuffed to the wall. She was there because her father the king had put her there because his land was getting attacked and the only way was to sacrafice his daughter to the sea monster. As quick as a flash the sea monster appeared from no where.

Swimming

Starting from the beginning of this term we have been having swimming lessons.
It has been fun learning how to swim. Some of us are already in the deep pool.
Others are in the lower group where the water is shallow and it is hard to dive. The water only comes up to our chests because the water is so shallow. There are three diving boards in the deep pool so that experienced swimmers who think they're good enough to dive in without drowning. If we are late its because we haven't got changed. We have a stopwatch which shows the record of time and that's the time we have to beat to go back to school and to change. The boys record to get changed is around 10 minutes.
