At the pool we had so much fun moving through the water in different ways and investigating the hows and whys of moving in water. Check out these photos and the video of our activities. You can even see us underwater!
After our swimming experience, we reflected as a group back at school:
We also used this experience to support and develop our ongoing investigation into 'What is exercise?'. Stay tuned for another post soon about this!
- I was swimming in the water. (Olivia)
- I was floating. (Denzil)
- If you're little and you don't have your arm bands for swimming all you have to do is keep kicking. (Lucy)
- We can blow bubbles in the water. (Wilma)
- I was balancing and swimming like my brother. (Ayesha)
- We played with things that sink all the way to the bottom and then we went to get them. (Lea)
- We splashed. (Wilma)
- It was fun when I floated. (Zoe)
- I felt brave when I was floating. I usually wear my arm bands but I didn't today and I didn't drown. (Lucy)
- When somebody kicks their legs in the water they're being brave. (Ayesha)
