Year 5 Swimming Summer Term
What an incredible time we have had at swimming this term!
Throughout our lessons, we have shown fantastic resilience, collaboration and determination. Our swimming instructors were especially impressed by our excellent attitude and positive approach, and we couldn't be prouder of the way everyone represented the school.
We are delighted to share that an amazing 75% of our children achieved the Gold Award. Even more importantly, every child made progress and achieved a new swimming level during the course of the programme - a fantastic accomplishment for everyone.
Over the final two weeks, we focused on personal survival skills, helping us to develop the knowledge and confidence to stay safe in and around water.
As part of our homework, we researched the different beach safety flags that can be seen at the seaside. Six children from each class were awarded team points for the outstanding quality of their work. We've included a couple of examples to showcase the impressive depth of knowledge demonstrated.
Well done, Year 5! You have been a real credit to the school throughout your swimming lessons. We are so proud of you all!
