Being a Learner- The big pool and the Whirlpool.

The Room 1 children took some great risks as they jumped into, floated and swam in the big pool. We had some very nervous learners as the lessons began and by the end they were confidently jumping into the pool to grab different objects.
Amazing bravery all round!

Mr Betts even got in the pool to encourage the children to be brave! 

Lily impressed everyone by showcasing her swimming skills at the end of the lesson! Well done Lily.

At the end of our lesson on Friday the tamariki created a whirlpool by running around the outside of the pool. When the teacher shouts change, they have to switch direction and float in the whirlpool or keep trying to run against the current. I have a video but it's too large to upload. If you feel like playing 'spot your Room 1 learner', then come on in and ask to see the video :)
