Swimming Lesson

Swimming Lesson

Moe from Swimming NZ visited us and taught us some amazing life skills.

She taught us how to get under the water, pick up objects from the water and move underwater.

 

We learnt the importance of blowing bubbles underwater instead of holding our breath.

She also introduced sculling to us to. We needed to be able to scull for at least 3 minutes. It is an amazing survival skill when we are out in the ocean.

Half of the class was up against the wall creating waves, while the other half floated on their backs. It felt like the ocean.

We also practiced swimming around the pool in the clockwise and anti clockwise. We created huge waves. It was so challenging swimming in our new wave pool especially when we had to swim against the current.

We also had to float on our back for at least one minute. Half of us achieved that.

We created humongous waves.

We then used the flutter board to swim across the length of the pool. Many of us have to work on our kicking.

Morning Fitness Sessions

Morning Fitness Sessions

We a proud to be the Reading Eggs winning class.

This is what our morning fitness session looks like. We start of by doing a lap around the bike track. Mrs Rassool times us and we aim to beat our time from the previous day. 

Basketball is one option.

The second option is learning how to use the hula hoops.

The third option is learning how to skip.

The fourth option is throwing the tennis ball onto the gutter board and trying to catch it.

The fifth option is dribbling the soccer ball in between the cones.

It is heaps of fun. We are feeling much fitter now.

On Fridays we join W20 and do some Zumba.
