Activity 3: 'Dear Jacinda'
Dear Jacinda Ardern
Hi my name is Johanna Groot and I live on the West Coast of the South Island.
I think swimming lessons should be free because swimming is important, not every one can have the money for it.  Swimming is also a very important thing for people because it can save lives it can even save your life. Every one should learn how to swim for safety.

Kind regards
Johanna

Activity 1: National Treasure
The three important things to me:

1. My Family is important to me because they will support me and look after me also they will help me if I'm stuck in in something
2. My Friends are important to me because without friends you will be lonely and won't have anyone to play with.
3. Swimming is important to me because it is fun and I learn a lot from it also swimming is good for rescuing people that's why I think it is important to me.

Yusra Mardini

Once there was a girl called Yusra Mardini she loved to swim  she was born in Damascus, Syria, a country long gripped by war. When her home was destroyed by a bomb she knew she had to leave her country, so she and her family had got away on a boat filled with too many refugees. When the motor broke down, Yusra and her sisters became heroes, swimming and pulling the boat to safety. In Germany, Yusra found glory as one of the first refugee teams ever complete in the Olympics.

Nervous Activity 3: Miracle on the Hudson The time I was brave was when a chair landed on my big toe and made the toe nail nearly come out, I cried. My mum said that I was brave because we had to drive 42 km to get to the hospital then wait 2 hours to see the Doctor and I did not cry even though I was in so much pain. When they fixed my toe by putting the toe nail back in I was brave and did not cry or anything.
