Swimming Day 6

More awesome swimming today.  We have children learning to float on their backs, children learning to do backstroke (I even heard the children use the term 'streamline', wow!) and we have children learning to see things under the water.  Have a look!

Congratulations to Room 12 - the absolutely brilliant independent dressers!!!  We set a brand new time of getting dressed after swimming today....6.22mins!  Woot!  Woot!  Even more exciting is the fact that no piece of clothing has been lost yet!

In the past few years our last two days of the swimsafe programme involves wearing life jackets, climbing onto a life boat and wearing clothing in the water (usually a pair of pj's as these are easy to get off in the water and can be worn over the top of pjs).  This is to simulate what it may be like if someone has fallen into the water.  Jellie Park haven't told us whether this is happening this year or not...I will find out tomorrow and confirm asap.

We always begin the day with mathematics and today's session was a good one!
This group are using calculators to check their addition problems.

Makylah and Mio are playing 1-10 Bingo.

Naai, Ruby K, Xavier and Jayia are using the activboard to play 1-20 Bingo.

Maddox and Kian are playing Snap!
