In term 3 last year, our seniors from Room 18 and 19 were learning the value of swimming safely in the water and on a boat. The opportunity made possible by Kiwisport funding and the Otara Leisure Centre staff. The programme was on Mondays and each week the children, parents and teachers were excited about the new learning children gained from the experience.
Room 19 boys learnt a lot and wanted to share this learning with you.
I have learnt that it is important to wear a life jacket on a boat every time. By Latrell
We learnt that you need to take warm clothing and signalling devices on a boat trip so you can stay warm and can get rescue teams attention. By Asera
If you are in the water you need to make a huddle to stay warm from each other’s body heat and keep injured friends alert and protected. By Sila
And do you know where the REFLECTORS are located on a life jacket?
While we can’t wait to share with you more learning in the weeks ahead, until then stay safe and ALWAYS WHERE YOUR LIFE JACKET… IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!
