RIP CURRENT

Imagine getting caught in a rip current wondering what can I do. Well if you don't know what to do then read what I have to say.

HOW TO IDENTIFY A RIP CURRENT:

There is a part of the water that is different coloured. Sometimes the ocean colour can go lighter or darker. It is difficult to find ways to identify a rip current.

HOW TO AVOID A RIP CURRENT:

To avoid a rip current you need to stay between the red and yellow flags. Don't swim far out to sea where no one can see you. look at the sign that will tell you what the dangers for today are.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN A RIP CURRENT:

Imagine getting caught up in a rip current, what would you do. Well if you did

get caught up in a current then don't try to swim against the rip. Try to put your hands up, don’t wave your hands side to side because the people on the beach might think that you're trying to wave so they might wave back at you. If no one comes out to rescue you just wait, Try to float on your back until rescue comes.

If you’re at the beach just take a good look at the ocean to see if there are rip currents and stay between the red and yellow flags if there are some. Make sure you check the sign to see what the dangers are for the day.

TEAM FIVE  Term 4

 At our Immersion Assembly after team 4 teachers  finished their little performance it was team five’s turn to show our topic to the rest of the school. The teachers from team five went onto the stage with excitement. They started painting an unusual object,  With confidence the teachers  brushed blobs of black and white paint on the paper.

  When the teachers finished their painting they moved to the side and I took a little glimpse but didn't really get it. “Are we dreaming or are they lost” I thought to myself. Suddenly the teachers came back and turned their painting around. “Then” I saw what they had amazingly painted, Mr. Jacobson, Mrs. Jarman and Mr. Burt’s faces.

  It looked like the teachers traced it. The painting looked magnificent. I didn't know the teachers in team five had such amazing skills in art. So this term’s topic is about ART, and the history of art. This term’s topic is going to be very fun and exciting for all of team five and the rest of the school. Art is one of my favorite subjects.

La Luna

Paddling gradually through the ocean the buff man looked at the night sky illuminated by stars. Paddle after paddle the surface of the water went blurry. While he was rowing the dingy continuously the little boy looked out the side of the side of the boat pairing at the ocean He looked at his reflection in the ocean. 

Wiping his hand across the surface of the water it went blurry as the ripples went away distorted. His reflection was distorted. The boat glided slower and slower on the water then stopped.
