Room 2 are going to the Aquatic Centre in Richmond every day for two weeks to have swimming lessons. We get on a big white bus at twelve o'clock.When we arrive we get changed and put our bags by the pool. Then we get to go in the wave pool until our lesson starts. We are in small groups of 4-5 kids. When our lesson is over we get changed again line up and wait for the bus to take us back to school. We arrive back at two o'clock and have to have our lunch and a little play. We are really hungry by the time we get to eat.
On Wednesday the whole Junior Syndicate walked down to
Starveall Street to see a stopping
