Swimming lessons at the Splash Centre

We are extremely lucky to be having free swimming lessons at the Splash Centre. We have been put into groups and are learning new swimming skills. Some of us are learning how to breathe properly and others are learning how to go under the water. We are really enjoying these lessons. A big thank you to Swim for Life and Sport Whanganui for arranging these valuable lessons for us.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE SPLASH ZONE?

In the Splash Zone we have been learning about ourselves and other people in our class. We made a class quilt that shows what we look like, our favourite sport, our families, our favourite place and other things. We used crayon and a black vivid to outline our pictures. Our quilt is now up on our classroom wall and we think it looks fabulous. We are also sharing 'Our Treasures'. Our treasures can be something that is really, really special to us and/or our family. Mrs Steedman brought in her dad's diary that he kept when he was in World War II. It is really special to her because he was writing in it before she was born. The diary is really old. We are going to take photos of our treasures and post them onto our blog. We can't wait.
