Our First Week of Swimming!

Last week we started our swimming at Aquagym. We went everyday! Mahdiya was our poolside photographer. Have a look at what we are learning to do. A big thank you to the parents who have been coming down to help out!!!


"At Aquagym we learn how to swim. The Blue group learnt how to dive and we learnt how to do a starfish. We go everyday on the bus. I like to go because you can swim." - Eli 


"At Aquagym my group learnt how to dive. My group is the colour blue and my swim teacher is Grace. We go for two weeks. We go on the bus and i like to go because the water is warm." - Liliana










"In Aquagym we learn how to ball float. We learnt how to dive in the water. We floated on our backs. We go everyday on the bus. It's fun and awesome. We are learning heaps of stuff. I touched the bottom of the pool." - Cashious-Max

Wild Things!

This week our shared book was Where the Wild Things are. We went on the New York Zoo website and built our wild selves! 
We also did some fantastic writing about the cheeky things our wild selves get up to! Come check out our writing books.
