Today we started off our sessions by discussing why swimming is important and the children came up with all sorts of scenarios. They were really good contributions, which led us into practicing our different types of floating. Star, tucked and pencil! It’s been another difficult choice for our swimming super stars, as some even managed to dive in at the deep end. They are:

Ellie May for really impressing me with her resilience and just how much she loves swimming. She never stops smiling! 😀

Amelia for having a boost of confidence when swimming – you were like a different person this week! 😁

Macey for showing fantastic enthusiasm and being so proud of her dive (even though she managed to splash me!) 😃

Kelby for continuing to challenge herself. You just give it a go and always try your best! 😄

Stay tuned for more swimming super stars next week, as we continue our favourite time of the week! 😆

Today Crew Gerrard and Crew McGloughlin went to one of their favourite sessions of the week. The children have learned lots of new skills to improve this week and we are seeing more and more move up groups.

Our Swimming Super Stars today were:

Alicia for growing in confidence to be able to swim without noodles/floats! 😁 (Crew G)

Jolie for being able to show her group fantastic swimming techniques! 😃 (Crew G)

Lucia for being a superstar at her first swimming lesson! 😄 (Crew Mc)

Lila for moving up a group in swimming! 😀

Well done guys! We can’t wait for next week! 😆

Starting this week, as a school we are beginning to look at sportsmanship. The children in their crew sessions are going to learn what sportsmanship is, what sportsmanship looks like, how we can change our mindsets about winning and losing and build on crew strengths.

What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is fair and generous behaviour or treatment of others, especially in sporting contests.

What are the 5 characteristics of a good sportsperson?

• Have a positive attitude at all times during sports play
• Give their best effort
• Encourages and support their crew mates
• Accept calls given by referees or coaches
• Treat the opposition team with respect

The sessions have got off to a great start and the children have really thought about how they can show sportsmanship in their PE lessons. Look out for your children coming home with a Kixx sporstmanship certificate …
