AWE Swimming

By Anonymous -
Last week Room 9 went to AWE swimming at the Aquatic Centre. Believe it or not, we went swimming!

 At AWE swimming you learn how to do freestyle,backstroke,tows (pulling another person across the water without hurting their body), safety jump (aka safety step),how to put on a life jacket properly, treading water, floating on your back (and moving while floating on your back), and other things,including how to have fun while staying safe.

You don't need to take goggles, but if you want to you can. AWE gives you rash tops to wear over top of you togs, for easy visibility, but they don't supply togs.

And at the end, you get a certificate either gold, silver or bronze. AWE is now highly recommended by Room 9.

The Beach & Me

By Anonymous -
It's not going to be warm. But I'll do it. Maybe. I know I'll just get up to my waist, get out and roll around in warm sand, go back and wash it of, and so on until I get warm enough to stay in. By then maybe we'll be getting out! There's no point, but it's fun.  I only like swimming at the beach if I'm not at the beach. Which makes no sense, but anyway, the point is, I'm not going to enjoy the salty swim.  I shuffle up to the waves of ice and hesitate slightly before stepping forward... It's so warm! This was my opinion of the Frankley beach day. It was really warm, for the beach, but there weren't really any waves.😞

Coding

By Anonymous -
Hi!☺ I know it's been a while since I last posted anything, so I decided to post about what I've been busy with for the last few AGES. Everyone knows about coding, but how many everyone's actually know HOW to code? Not as many as you might think, and how many of them are girls? Annoying Fact ↓ Only one in every seven engineers are girls.  For some more info on the tech challenge,  Click HERE (And not HERE)
