Explanation: How to keep safe at the beach


To keep your family safe do not go out too far into the water because you might drown. Before you go into the water, you've got to put sunscreen on and also when you finish swimming. Remember to always swim between the flags. If you're swimming and people are fishing, you need to watch where the rods are because you might get caught. If you are diving and bombing, do it safely with an adult at a deep part but you need to make sure you don't go too far out and don't come too far in or else you will get hurt. If you get into trouble in the water, call out for help by waving your hands and the life-guard will rescue you. The beach is a fun place not only for swimming. You can build sand castles, play dig the person up or just play in the playground. Always be careful and be safe at the beach.

Explanation: How to ride your bike safely


First it is so important to wear a helmet while riding your bike. Be sure to check that your helmet fits perfectly and wear it correctly. If you're not sure ask a professional at the bike store. Secondly you have to wear good shoes so your feet are protected and are resting nicely on the peddle. Adjust your seat so that your knees are slightly bent and your feet can touch the ground. The next most important thing is to make sure your brakes are working properly. Next check other parts of your bike like your lights, reflectors and chain. Make sure the chain is properly oiled and spinning freely. Check that your tyres are properly inflated. You should carry a portable pump and spanner to repair your bike if it breaks down. When you are on the road be sure to ride with the flow of traffic so that cars do not crash into you. Wear brightly coloured clothing so that other road-users can see you. When you come to a pedestrian crossing, get off your bike and walk across with your bike. When you're riding with your friends, ride in a single file not side by side. Do not carry passengers on your bike as it is made only for one person. Do not wear headphones while riding because you should be listening out for warnings on the road. Wear your backpack on your shoulders instead of hanging it on the handle bars. Never hitch a ride on a passing by truck as you could be in trouble at the slightest bump. Remember to make hand signals when turning or stopping. Be alert while riding and obey all traffic signs and rules of the road. Now you are ready to have a safe ride on your bike without getting run over.

Why my Mum is the Best in the World




Do you have someone who cares about you?
Well I do and that’s my mum. My mum is pretty. My mum will take me to the mall and she will buy me some shoes, clothes and some Wendy’s. My mum will let me go with my friend to Hamilton or to Sky City. My mum will take me shopping and she will let me go to the shop. My mum always helps with my homework. Sometimes I read a book because I don’t get home until four pm and mum gets home at five pm. She never has to tell me to do my jobs. I just do it when I get home. My mum is the best because she will take me where I want to go. My mum works at a place that makes cookies. Mum buys some cookies and we eat them. My mum likes my friends and she lets them come over. If you had a mum like that mine you would be happy because she will play with you. She is fun too. When I got my hair cut my mum got the same as me and my mum looked young. My mum is really wonderful because she is fun, kind and she is funny too. My mum is good at the Speed game and that is my favorite game too. My mum is the best because she helps me and makes me stuff. She is the best mum in the world.
