Swimming - Learning to use the Flutter Board

Greetings family and friends,
For swimming today the Courageous Cubs and Incredible Two's learnt how to use the Flutter Board. We have become really confident in the water. We challenged ourselves at the end of the lesson by gliding without using a flutterboard. Our teacher kept reminding us that it wasn't a race. We were all focused today and we think that we have improved since our last lesson. What do you think? 

Thank you parents for allowing your child to participate. Our next swimming day is on Friday. We can't wait!

Here are some photos and videos of our learning today.

Our branding name is "Incredible 2" our teachers name is "Miss Manuele". As a class, we want to make sure that we come to school every day. We have agreed that we will always come to school with a positive attitude and that we will have a "give it a go" attitude. 

Parents, please make sure that your child is at school everyday. We are a healthy eating school so please make sure that your child is brining healthy food every day. We have homework every day which includes reading, learning how to write  letters, say their sounds and write some words (Essential List in their homework book). Your child brings home a book bag every day and they will read 2 different books a week. Your child will bring a poem book home on a Friday. Please parents, help your child with their homework.

If you have any questions about your child's learning please come and see the classroom teacher. 

Together we can support each other. Together we can learn!
