Swimming

This week Rooms 19 and 20 have been lucky enough to have Swimming lessons at the Glen Innes pools. We have been learning how to stay safe in the walk by floating, treading water and swimming freestyle.

Each class swims in three group and we are so grateful to our wonderful teacher.

We love Swimming!

This term Rooms 19 and 20 went swimming at the Glen Innes Pools. We had so much fun and learnt some really awesome new skills.

Below are some pictures of us swimming.

Life Jacket

Last week at Swimming Room 14 got to experience using a life jacket and learn some of the important skills they might need if they were to fall out of a boat. They learnt that it is important to always wear a life jacket when you are out in deep water.

This was great fun. We are so grateful for the experience. 

Swimming recounts

This week we worked on writing creative recounts about our experiences at swimming. The aim was to use time connectives correctly to enhance our writing.


First we watched this video to help use remember all of the cool things we did at swimming.

Then we used wrote our awesome stories. Here are some examples.

When  we went to hop in the G.I pools I felt very excited to swim. First we had to go under the water for 10 seconds to wet our body.Then we grabbed a board and  stood on the wall to wait for the instructions.After that the instructor said when we swim we point our feet and  we put our feet together and kick fast. And when you do the streamline you have to put your head down and if you want to have some air you lift your head up but you do not stand up you just lift you head up. After we swam by our self then we went under the lane rope and sat on the  stairs under the water then the instructor said “you have to  kick your feet fast and you have to point you feet.”  Then  the instructor was testing us then she said  when you are finished kicking your feet go under the line and stand against the wall. And wait for the instructor to tell us what we have to do”.Finally  the other class came to swim but we had 1 more minute to swim then we  hopped out of the pool and got our towels and went back to class.  got changed into our school uniform and went out to play.

Today was our first day of swimming. Everyone was excited all day long. After arriving at the pools the 24 children from our class with their togs got ready to swim. The wonderful instructors put the children into three groups. During the lesson each group learnt new skills and began to gain confidence in the water. 

It was fantastic to see so many people from our class swimming. On Wednesday we are aiming to have the whole class in the pool. 

We had an amazing time at our first swimming lesson and can't wait for Wednesday!!
