Swimming!

Sadly our swimming lessons for 2017 have now come to an end. We all had such a great time at the pools and learned a lot. We feel that swimming is such an invaluable skill to have as we all live on an island. Check out the photos of what our groups were working on!

Group 1 was learning to be more comfortable in the water - putting our heads under, blowing bubbles and floating on our fronts and backs.

Group 2 was working on swimming freestyle using flutter boards, and then progressing to arms only.

Group 3 was working on practicing our different swimming styles and swimming over, under or through underwater obstacles like hoops.

Maui and the sun

Room 20 read the story of Maui and the sun. We then worked in groups to retell the story as a short dance sequence; first with a buddy and then with a group. When working together we had to consider the dance elements we had brainstormed; such as movement, timing, space, size, height, tempo and locomotion.

Our dances have not yet been set to music but check out our work so far from these brave volunteers!
