Swimming - Term 1 Week 1 2021 - February

swimming.

Today Room 7 had swimming at 9:40am with our swimming instructor to learn how to stay safe in case of big waves while swimming at a beach.

Our first lesson she taught us was how to catch your breath while swimming. She said “when you need to catch your breath while swimming, you have to roll on your back then roll back on your stomach after you have caught your breath”. After she explained they all started following the instructions.

After lesson one she told us lesson two. The second lesson was: swimming on top of the water then diving down. She started explaining it to the class and demonstrated for them. She said “first youse start swimming slowly on the top then once youse hear the whistle get ready to dive in and pull yourself down while swimming”.

After she had finished explaining lesson two she moved on to lesson three: which was “hand signals”. She said “first you lay face down into the water then once you guys hear the whistle you have to roll onto you back and put one hand up and leave you other hand under and try to find me and swim to me”. After she explained everyone tried it out and a lot of people were struggling but then they started to understand.

For the last lesson she taught was about: waves. She said “the most dangerous thing about swimming at a beach is the waves, waves are big and scary so i’m going to ask the boys to line up on the wall of the pool and start pushing up and down to make big waves for the girls to swim through” all the boys started pushing up against the walls creating big waves. After the girls went it was the boys' turn to swim through the waves. The girls lined up against the wall and started pushing against the walls creating big waves for the boy to swim through. After every did their part it was time to get out and that was the end of swimming.

Maths Observation

Maths
On Thursday we had a Maths observation and we had Mr Den here with us today. Today was fun learning how to add the fractions together and learning some new things. We first got into our Maths group and Mrs Tofa was working with our group which was Taha. We were solving a fractions problem where the each house had 10 liters of water and the two groups that finished there water was Nikau and Kauri, and the 2 other groups that never finished there water was Rata and Kowhai and we needed to solve how much water was left altogether. At first my group that I was working with was a bit confusing but then they explained it to me and then I finally got the hang of it and knew what I needed to do. So this was lots of fun learning something I haven't learnt.
