Swimming

In term 1 and term 4 (weather permitting) we are lucky enough to be able to swim in our school pool.

We are learning to

• be safe around water
• to safely enter and exit the pool
• take responsibility for our own belongings
• dress ourselves

On our first trip to the pool we had some time to play in the pool and we enjoyed a big game of "Ring-a Rosie".

Next time we will start looking at what each child can do so we can group them according to their needs.

Soon we will be able to run some smaller groups focusing on things like getting our faces wet, blowing bubbles, kicking, gliding and floating.

We always love having parent helpers as our learners can get a lot more out of a lesson in a smaller group.If you are free to help on Tuesdays at 1.30 - 2.00pm or Fridays at 10.50 - 11.30am, we would love to have you.

Swimming will continue as long as the weather allows. ;-)
