Students from Mooroopna Primary School from Prep to Year 2 sat down to talk all things summer, Christmas and holidays.
Here’s what they had to say.
Year 1 student Imogen Reid
I like to go to the pool when it’s really hot. I like playing games in the pool and going under the water. We play Marco Polo and Mermaids. I go to the pool with sometimes my friends but I also go with my family. I also like to do water fights when it’s really, really hot. I usually win. At Christmas, we take family photos, and me and my mum have matching T-shirts. For Christmas this year, I want a Barbie doll.

I like to do backflips in the pool and even go to water slides and water guns. I go to Aquamoves, but I’ve only been once — I want to go this year. I like to jump in the pool. On the holidays, I’ll jump on my bed and do cartwheels with no hands and no feet and no head. I like to play Roblox and stay indoors too, I have a TV in my room.

I go to the pool in town because we don’t have our own pool. I like going to the splash park and the river rapids. Sometimes I also go to a river where I like to swim because it’s pretty close. I like going with my friends, and sometimes my nan and pa come. I like to jump off logs into the water when I go to the river.

We like to go to the pool in the summertime, and sometimes my mum lets me use the hose. We go to pools, but also my nan has a pool. I like doing laps in the pool. I also like just going out and doing things, like my twin sister and I go camping sometimes. This year for Christmas, I want a new bike because my old bike is rusty. I like riding my bike to school.

When it’s really warm I like to run and go to Aquamoves. I also go to basketball but it’s still pretty warm in there. Christmas is the best part of summer because I get to open presents. I want my presents to be a phone and an Xbox. I spend Christmas with my mummy and my daddy. My mummy and I do running races, but I always win.
