Swimming Carnival 
 
By Jarrod

On a Tuesday first term we had a swimming carnival.

The first race was the 100 metre I.M. (individual medley) when it was the boys turn I came first and Elliott came second. After that we had a race in the 50 metre Freestyle. I came first. When it was the age 10's turn and Nathan Maolo came Second. In the age 12's Alvonn had a cut on his foot.

After that I was looking at some Magazines called Disney Adventures with Robs, Jeremy and Giau. Then the 50 metre backstroke came on and the breaststroke then the butterfly and I came first in all of them except for the butterfly.
 

Cheering for their House, Go Woomera!
 
After all of those races I was pretty tired so we had some lunch. For lunch I had some dried mango and some hot chips from the canteen, Fay gave me a chocolate.

Then came the relay races. Woomera house came first. For the junior Eurobin relay team we had Ana, Matilda, Reice and I. Then my Nanna said to Matilda and I that we could get anything we want from the Kiosk. I said that I would like a Callipo and Matilda asked for a Splice.

Then came the parent teacher race. In the man's one Mr Richard our headmaster came first and in the women's Miss Gray the teacher of 4/5G.

After all of the Parent Teacher races it was the kids turn again except this time it was novelty races. First was the cork dive where you had to get the most corks. It was pretty funny because when the children where collecting the corks and they dropped some as they where trying to get to shore. They where putting them in pretty weird places like in there mouth.
 

Waiting for their race
 
There was the kickboard race which I was thinking about all day because every time we had to go up in a race we were told "please line up for your race next to the kickboards". That was the only novelty race I went in and I came first. Then came the ring dive. Unfortunately I had to leave in the middle of it.

Then the day after the swimming carnival the teachers handed out the ribbons of 1st, 2nd and 3rd. I got 6 1sts and Eliza got 7, 1sts.

The next day after that they announced the senior and junior champions. The girl junior champion was Eliza and junior boy was Jarrod (me). The senior girl was Andrea and senior boy was Elliott.
