Swimming Lessons

Kakano Hub had Swimming lessons for Weeks 4 and 5 of Term 1. This was a great learning opportunity for the children. It was fantaastic to see their improvements each day. The children all became more confident in the water. They learnt about water safety each day. The last few days involved learning how to correctly fit and use a lifejacket, how to safely exit a boat into water and find the pocket of air in an upturned boat to breathe. These were all vital skills that the children learnt. As we live in New Zealand we have access to many water activities and these lessons helped developed the children's confidence around water. I look forward to our time at QE2 each year.
