Risk Taking

WALT: Take risks & step outside our comfort zone.

TASK:

Create a motivational poster with my own quote to inspire others to take risks.

Every Thursday Suzanne teaches us. We have been learning to take risks and we made a poster to show other people what risk taking is. My poster is about not being afraid to do things and to just do it anyway. My picture shows a boy bungee jumping because it could make some people really nervous because they are afraid of jumping. It shows that even though risk taking can make you scared, just do it because you might learn something new or have a new experience.

Swimming Sports

On Thursday Russell Street School had swimming sports at the Lido.  We did things like breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, and relay racing.  The best part of the day was to go to the Esplanade.  It was awesome I loved the tyre swings and the flyingfox the most.  It turned out to be a great day and lots of fun.
