Just keep swimming!

Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Team 4 has begun their swimming programme at the GI pools this term. Check out what Room 11 has been learning about with their instructors in our PENN movie for Term 2!

A week in motion

The force has been strong in Room 11 ... we have been on the move a lot this week!  As well as enjoying moving it through the water at swimming, we have had a very busy and exciting week moving it at the park after swimming, moving it at assembly when we all performed our Fiafia items for the rest of the school, and moving it around the bike track this afternoon.  The wheels were in motion at the end of our week in motion.

Time for a swim!

We were off to the pools today for our first swimming session.  After sorting out the groups, it was time to move it, move it through the water!  Thanks to everyone who remembered their togs!

Learning about water safety

We enjoyed the last of our swimming lessons at GI Pools last week. Here are some of the highlights from our ten sessions at the pools. We had so much fun learning about water safety with our instructors, Kat, Jed and Jess.

Thinking about ... water safety

Just keep swimming ... just keep swimming! Yesterday we enjoyed our first swimming session at Glen Innes pools. Before we climbed safely into the pool, we talked and thought about staying safe at the pool and at the beach. Our instructor, Kat, asked us why we should swim between the red and yellow flags at the beach. As well as the lifeguards being able to keep an eye on us, we learnt about the danger of rip currents at the beach. So much thinking!  So much swimming!  So much fun!

School picnic 2017

Room 9 spent a wonderful day at Point England Beach on Friday exploring the local environment at the beach and Pt England Reserve.  Everyone had a blast with all the amazing activities on offer.  It was tricky to pick a favourite from swimming, building or playing sport!
