Swimming Lessons with Find Your Field of Dreams

Swimming Lessons with Find Your Field of Dreams

This year, Find Your Field of Dreams are sponsoring swimming lessons for our students again. Lessons started this week, and we’re excited to have this opportunity for our students to have lessons with professional swimming instructors.

This was Room 15’s first lesson. They enjoyed learning new skills and developing their water confidence!

'Find Your Field of Dreams' Swimming by Room 9

We walked quickly to Boys' High today (Thursday), to test our swimming skills. We got in, in groups of 5 and showed our best free-style to the other end of the pool. 

I saw lots of splashing. It reminded me of having free time in the Boys' High pool.

We floated like a star fish on our back. Our instructors are Robyn, Amber and Brady. 

Sam felt nervous like someone who was on stage because everyone watched me do freestyle. Fabian felt unconfident because he wasn't sure about floating on his back. He kept falling back down. Raedence felt nervous waiting to get in because the pool was really deep and cold. Hodan felt excited because she wants to learn how to swim.

We will all bring our togs on Thursday so we can go again.

Cooperative Games with Jono (Project Energize)

During week 2 we were lucky enough to have Jono from Project Energize join us for some cooperative games.

We played many different games where we had to work as a team like passing a hula hoop around our linked arms, rob the nest (or goodies and baddies!), and a new game of Paper, Scissors, Rock.

Thanks Jono for another awesome session!
