What is happening in Week 8?

Swimming

Yay! We can use our school pool again. Thank you to all the helpers who made this possible. All children must bring their named swimming gear every day until the end of term. We are very lucky to have a heated pool and these lessons are an important part of our Physical Education classes. If for any reason your child cannot attend, please provide them with a note from home stating why.

The children will be in groups based on their age as of 1 October and will move around the events together. These are the groups that were written on their arm for last week’s practice. You are welcome to come along to the event.  There will be seven events: sprints, middle distance, shot put, discus, hurdles and high jump. There will be five rotations before lunch and two after lunch followed by the relays - including the popular parent relay. Remember to bring your running shoes! You are welcome to stay at school and have lunch with your child.
