First Day Of Swimming

Today we had our first day of swimming. We were very excited and afterwards we felt very tired! The bus ride to the pool was a big hit. The children were eager to get into the pool to show what they could do. We have some great swimmers in our class. Thank you to Debbie and Karen for coming along to help us.

Swimming!

Don't forget we begin swimming on the first Monday back to school.  Remember to bring your togs,  a clean towel and goggles if you need them.  Also ensure that all your clothing is well named as sometimes things get a little mixed up when getting changed! 
Have a separate named bag for all your gear and finally make sure you bring a little something extra for lunch, as you will probably be very hungry after swimming.
