Swimming sports 2011

This is at the swimming sports at nayland pool .
We could choose which  race to enter. We both entered the breaststroke race. When you were third,second,or first you were given a little block. In the morning it was very cold. The water was very freezing. This day was very funny because we have not so long at School. When we came back to the School it was Lunchtime. In the Afternoon it was warm !

OUR TRIP TO BROADGREEN HOUSE

I am going down the stairs and I am holding on to the rail. By Quyen

I liked the bath, because it was tiny and an adult can't fit in, because they are too big. And babies are small enough to fit in. By An

At Broadgreen house there were things that from 1855. There was a dining room and a study. The servants had a room with a big fire place. The servants wore uniforms. I liked it very much. By Son

I saw a big fire place where the servants cooked their meal. By Natsu

Aadarsh says "I took the photo of the children wearing the old clothes. It was fun at Broadgreen House because we had lots of things to see."
