Swimming returns

​The children made a big splash this week as they swam for the first time in Year 3. They excitedly entered school with their full swimming kits and bags of energy! They behaved well on the DLR and changed quickly into their swimming kits. They listened to the swim teachers and were happy but tired after the hour-long lesson. Well done Year 3! Swimming is an excellent way to exercise and going swimming with your class encourages rapid acquisition of the techniques and strategies as you work with your friends and highly skilled swim teachers. Swimming is also an invaluable life skill that the children can build upon as they grow.
