Today we begun the term participating in a rotation of activities; skipping, hula hoops, ladder races, obstacle course, goal kicking, netball shooting. We had lots of fun and it was impressive to see who could hula hoop for the longest and how many skips the children could do in a row (51).
See photos from the session below.
In the last two weeks of Term 3, Room 5/6 had swimming lessons. The lessons focus on swimming technique, with the last week focusing more on water safety, e.g. how to enter deep water safely, being on a boat and what you take (flares, bailer, beacon), treading water and how our clothing weighs us down.
Each lesson would begin with a safety focus e.g. what to do it a rip, how to get a life guards attention, what to do if someone is drowning close to you.
It was lots of fun and great to see everyones confidence build and enjoy being in the water.
To finish off Term 3, Room 5/6 performed plays to one another. It was a lot of fun and great to see everyone's drama skills.
