How to Swim a Length Under Water by Greg O'Connell

Greg O'Connell let us know about a new poem of his that has been published in the School Journal, Level 2, October 2011. The title is "How to Swim a Length Under Water" with a subheading "Recite in a single breath"!
What a challenge- Thanks Greg!

 

Have a look at our attempts- it was hilarious! Then have a go yourself! You really do feel like you are swimming a length of the pool under water!

A Repunit Palindrome Day! A what?!!!!

Crazy things are known to happen around our school! Today at 11 minutes passed 11 a.m. you would have seen people running around madly calling out "11,11,11,11,11..."

Why?? Well today is what is known as a Repunit Palindrome Day. This is a very rare event- wont see it again this century! A Repunit is a number like 11,111, or 1111 that only contains the digit 1.
