Swimming Lessons with Room 4
We are very lucky at New Windsor to have funded swimming lessons. Room 4 has had a fun and enjoyable week where our swimming lessons has helped the students to develop a lifelong love of swimming and water sports.
Our Swimming lessons teach children important water safety skills, such as how to tread water, float, and swim to safety. These skills can help children stay safe around water and prevent drowning.
Swimming is an excellent form of exercise that can help children build strength, endurance, and flexibility. It is a low-impact activity that is gentle on the joints and can improve cardiovascular health.
Learning to swim can help children build confidence in their abilities and develop a sense of accomplishment. This can translate to other areas of their lives and help them become more confident and self-assured.
Swimming lessons offer an opportunity for children to socialise with their peers and interact with instructors. This can help children develop social skills such as communication, cooperation, and teamwork.
Room 4: Welcome to 2023
This week was very busy for our small class. We have been getting to know each other and learning about our school values and expectations. We have made some new friends and have started on our learning journey at New Windsor.
Room 4 Swimming
We are really enjoying our time at the New Windsor School pool. We are learning important skills to use in the water. The children are practising kicking, floating and listening skills. Their favourite game to play seems to be the game Marco/Polo. The best thing about our lessons are that the children are able to build on their new skills everyday!
