Making a Splash in Swimming! 🏊
This half term, our children have thoroughly enjoyed their swimming lessons and have shown fantastic enthusiasm, determination, and confidence in the water. From learning essential water safety skills to developing new swimming techniques, every session has been filled with smiles, encouragement, and personal achievements.
A huge well done to all of our swimmers for their fantastic effort this half term. We look forward to seeing them continue to build their confidence, skills, and enjoyment of swimming in the future. Thank you to our families for supporting the children as they continue their swimming journey!
Miss Parkinson Year 1/2:
"I like swimming because it was really hard for me to get the sinkies off the floor but now I can."
"My favourite thing about swimming is at the end when we get a blue ball and two yellow hoops. One hoop goes on each side and then you have to try and score in the other team's hoop"
"My favourite thing about swimming is when you go on your back."
"My favourite thing about swimming is that you get to do front crawl"
