Pyjama Days at the Pool!

Last week we wore our pyjamas in the swimming pool!  We all thought this was very strange, but our swimming tutors wanted us to know what it might feel like if we suddenly found ourselves in water with our clothes on.

Ready and waiting in our pyjamas.

Mr Bojangles wanted to wear his pyjamas too!

We discovered that our clothes made us feel colder and they got heavy!

Room 12 learned to use a ball or bottle as a floating device!

We also made a river out of our bodies, and each of us had to walk or swim down the choppy water.  This was so much fun!

On the next day we put on life jackets and jumped into the DEEP end of the swimming pool!  We found that the life jackets helped us float!
