Our Year 3 learners have been making the most of swimming lessons this term. We are very lucky at our school to have our own swimming pool, which we use during Term 1 and Term 4. This gives everyone a wonderful opportunity to build important swimming skills in a safe and supportive environment.
During lessons, learners focus on developing water confidence and learning essential water safety skills. They practise floating, kicking, breathing techniques and moving through the water with control. Water safety is a big part of our programme, as it helps children understand how to stay safe in and around pools, rivers and at the beach.
We are also very fortunate to have a dedicated swimming assistant who works alongside our teachers. This means learners receive extra support and guidance as they build their skills. It has been fantastic to see their confidence grow each week, along with their smiles and enthusiasm in the pool.
