Lenny showing off his floating skills

Look! Lenny has learned to float too! The Learn 2 Swim programme has proved to be a great success. ALL of the children are now confident in the water, and almost all of them can now float confidently too; many of them are able to zoom up and down the pool on their tummy or on their back using a flutter board.  I am so proud of how far they have come in just a few lessons! Sadly Monday is our last formal lesson; although we will keep on practising our new skills on a daily basis.

The children have been writing about their swimming lessons, and many are able to articulate why it is important to feel confident in the water, and why floating is an important skill to have.

Mrs Devi has two more weeks with us in Room 14. She is an asset to our classroom, and together we have been working on consolidating number knowledge in mathematics; especially skip counting forwards and backwards in 2's, 5's, and 10's - ask your child to demonstrate this to you :)

I look forward to seeing you next Saturday for our Mini Gala. Mr Marsh and I will be running the sausage sizzle stand - yum yum yum!

Have a great weekend

Alicia Marsh and Razmi Devi
