Our Year 5 Swimming lessons are well under way and the children are really enjoying the experience. Some children are improving their water confidence including swimming underwater whilst others are improving their swimming techniques and stamina. It is always a wonderful part of our PE curriculum to watch the children grow in confidence with the excellent teaching of the swim teachers.

In two weeks, the children will be completing their swimming certificate assessment and, at the same time, be taking part in a sponsored swim for the Wessex Neurological Centre. Children in 5SC have brought home their sponsorship forms. Even a few pounds can make a big difference so please do not feel that your child has to be sponsored huge amounts to feel that they are not making a difference – any support you can give will always be gratefully appreciated.

The Year 5 Team
