Swimming is Essential





Have you imagined innocent kids drowning in that big piece of water? That’s why kids in New Zealand need to learn how to swim.

The most special thing that can help us how to swim is a pool,a pool can help us how to be confident in the water. Swimming Pools can help New Zealand kids know what to do if there was a real wave heading our way, kids can be taught where and when to swim. A pool is similar to an ocean but only shallow, so New Zealand kids can be cured of drowning if the New Zealand Government change their mind and let each school have a turn with a swimming pool.
A swimming instructor can change a child’s life too, a swimming instructor encourages kids to learn how to swim in different and helpful styles. There’s lots of swimming styles that helps us how to save ourselves from the unpredictable waves that can kill us in a second but the problem is that we don’t know all the swimming styles needed, that’s why we need a swimming pool and a swimming instructor.

Last Day Of Sewing

I entered the room with a keen face, my adrenalin rose through my body when I faced the sewing machine. Ms.Scott (A professional, experienced and an Edgewater College Home Economics teacher) gave each of us a piece of rectangular fabric called felt to make our homemade money purse or coin wallet. I got a purple colored piece of fabric to make my coin wallet I was excited as a student heading away on his holidays. After she gave us our felt she told us to turn on our sewing machine (Also known as “Bernina”) and greet it in a friendly way . I got the things needed to make my money purse like scissors, black bobbin, metal bobbin case and a grey colored thread. All I needed to do was to get my sewing machine ready. The hardest and most challenging part was to make my money purse.When I got my grey thread, black bobbin and presser foot ready. I turned the sewing machine on and started to do decorative stitches on my coin wallet to put styles on it. I decided to design my wallet by making triangle shapes around it. After 20 minutes I was tired and exhausted, like a person who had just finished a long plane flight, but I still managed to do my functional stitching to close my money purse I was proud and happy at the same time I can’t wait till I visit Edgewater College again.
