Our last lesson with the Community Swimming coaches

Floating for as long as we can. 

Jumping in - different ways. 

Winter Olympics

We have used the medal table from the Winter Olympics to complete some maths activities. We had to calculate how many medals were won by the different countries. Look at some of the strategies we have used. 

Have you filled a bucket today?

Last week we were reading about how we all have invisible buckets. Only other people can fill your buckets. They fill it by being kind to you. A smile can fill a bucket too. 

Bucket dipping happens when people are mean. You empty your own bucket when you are mean to others. 

Here is the bucket filling song. 

We are now creating picture buckets to show how our buckets can be filled.  

Keeping Safe

Wear your lifejacket when you are out on your boat!

This was the message we were given at our swimming lesson last week. The students were given an opportunity to learn how to step into the water off the side as well as fall backward off the edge of the pool. Trying to dive down into the water while wearing a lifejacket was impossible for most. 

First, we had to put the lifejackets on.

Here we are lining up in groups before we stepped into the pool. 

We made a donut by holding onto each other and pulling our legs up. 

A race: Swimming as a team

Open morning to share our learning

We had an open morning in week two during which we shared our learning with parents. It was exciting to see so many parents turning up and the classroom was buzzing with enthusiastic student voices sharing their learning. 

Thank you for visiting us! Please come again.
