Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Here is a selection of photos and videos put together to make a movie of us being learners at Aquagym.  

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Today we started our swimming lessons at Aquagym.  

Our teachers are Lucy, Katrina and Mikayla.  

We are in three groups and today our teaches checked out what we know in our groups.  

It was very exciting going swimming for the first time!  

Miss Collins talked about what would happen when we arrived so we knew what to expect. 

We also talked about listening to our teacher so we could learn as much as possible.  

We are looking forward to getting better at swimming!  

Here are some Room 1 swimmers!  

Being A Respectful and Responsible: Today We Started Swimming!

Today we started swimming for two weeks.  We were very excited to be getting on a bus to go to swimming.  We practised being Respectful and Responsible on the bus by following the three corner rule.  This means we can't talk until the driver has been around three corners.  It allows the bus driver to safely drive us to the school.  

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

For the past two weeks we have been swimming at Aquagym.  We have loved swimming and our classroom teachers have been impressed with out progress so far.  On Wednesday we had a water safety day and we all had to jump into the big pool which was a little bit scary.   

Week Two Of Swimming Lessons

This week we have continued with our swimming lessons.  The children have become very confident in the water and are enjoying being a learner in the pool.  We have written some wonderful stories about swimming.  These are in our published writing books and the children would love to share these with their whanau.

Videos From Our Swimming Lesson 21.4.15

A Funny Swimming Poem...

Here is a wee poem to get you ready for swimming and to have a giggle about... 

Click on the picture or the title and you can hear the poet read this poem aloud.  

Swimming Ool Swimming in the swimming pool is where I like to "B," wearing underwater goggles so that I can "C." Yesterday, before I swam, I drank a cup of "T." Now the pool is just an "ool" because I took a "P." --Kenn Nesbitt

Back to School

Hello!  We hope you have all had a great break.
We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on the first day.
We are swimming for the first two weeks.    We need all swimming money paid before swimming.  Room One is swimming at 10.00am each day.  Don't forget your togs!
Parents are welcome to come and watch!  
Don't forget to be at school on time in your uniform to get your Dojo points!

See you all Monday!

We Love Swimming!

This week we have been having swimming lessons at Aquagym with Room Six.

We have enjoyed catching the bus each day and going in the water and taking risks.  We have written lots of stories at writing time with Room Two and you can see these on our walls.
