swimming

The year 3 and 4 team went to Pioneer pool to do some swimming lesson's.
Last week we did some water safety we had to bring our PJ's we got put into groupe number 1's and 2's.  One group went into the big pool and went on a boat, They had to wear life jackets. They had to jump off  backwards. The other group went into the small pool and swam in their pyjamas, and made pretend rapids by pushing the water with flutter boards. They made a whirl pool, learned how to huddle and get the attention of people in a helicopter. We learnt all these things so we would know what to do if we needed help in water.
Some water rules we talked about were:
Always wear a life jacket on a boat,
Always swim with an adult,
Swim between the flags,
One of the messages we learnt was if in doubt, say out!

It was fun wearing our pyjamas

Getting into the boat

It was hard work pulling people up into the boat

Learning how to huddle

Making the rapids
