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.

Small Ball skills with Courageous Cubs

Kia Ora Whanau

This week in P.E. we learnt about how to throw a tennis ball (small ball). We first practised in class before going out with Courageous Cubs on the field. We had to remember to aim and then throw. Some of us were really good but we all still need to practise at home. Parents, ask your child about what they learnt and practise with them at home. 
Here are some photos of our learning.
