Thanks Mr Peachy for having the pool ready for us! It is super hot being back at school but luckily we can cool off as we learn to swim. We are getting into groups and will all have our own swimming goals soon. Check out our individual blogs to see what these goals are.
Hi Room 9
ReplyDeleteAren't we so lucky to have a school pool! What swimming skills have you learnt or practiced so far?

To Mrs Natusch,
DeleteWe are practicing our sculling, and how to kick and float on our front like a starfish and on our backs. Kicking with flutter boards with nice straight legs using your hips not your knees and your toes pointed. Some of us are using rocket arms to glide. We have been learning freestyle and on the third stroke you take a breath. You have to scoop through the water and make your arms as long as you can to go faster. We have also been having fun dolphin diving.
