Read on to find out what we have been up to this week and for some important dates for our end of year celebrations!

Swimming

This week at swimming we practiced sculling. We also had to bring clothing to wear in the pool so that we can understand how to keep ourselves safe in case we ever fall into water when we are wearing our clothing. We had to scull and tread water while we removed our outer layer of clothing. This went well and it was interesting to learn how to do this. We also had lots of fun! 

T-Shirt Designs

This week we have been busy creating our own 2022 T-shirts. On these we have put our favourite memories from the year. We will then write messages of gratitude and kindness on the back of each others t-shirts as a keep sake to remember the awesome year we have had!
