Swimming

Today this Thursday we learnt about how to save some one if there on a beach or a pool first they told us about were we can swim on a beach they said that there are flags on the beach and they also told us that if we see  a flat piece of water then that means it is a currant and we have to be careful because then it will pull us into the open sea.

and then after they told us all about that we all split into our groups and in my group we all did some practice on some sculling and floating on our backs and then when we finished we went into the other pool that was close to the one that we were in so when we got into that pool we all made a whirl pool and then when we made it we all quickly floated on our backs and when we did that we could fell that currants of the whirl pool and when we where floating we where sniping around.

and then w went into that pool that we were first and we just had to swim the the platform and then swim back so that we could get out side.

Measuring using times tables and addition Maths

LI: To measure area using Times tables and Addition

Today for Maths we learnt how to measure area with times tables and addition we all got a piece of paper that had lots of weird shapes and we had to measure all of them and some of them looked really hard to measure and what we had to do was get a ruler and we had to split it into multiple shapes that we could measure and if we measured the height and the length and if we get 2cm and 3cm then we have to do 2x3=  then we write 6 cm squared.

And then when we finished all of that we are able to blog it and we can make this DLO poster explaining everything that we learnt in maths today.

Swimming Lessons

This weeks new swimming lessons we learnt how to float on our backs and Sculling at the same time sculling means that we float on our backs and we have to use our hands to portend to use our hands a flippers when we float on our backs that means we can swim on our backs much more easier and calmer. and then we had more practice trying to float on our backs but most of us already new how to float so then we just jumped right into sculling.

We had more practice swimming with our hands in front and kicking with a board but i already new how to do that so then our teacher Kelly told us to make sure that we kick our feet under the water so then we can swim much faster but if we kick our legs and feet above that water then that means we are just kicking air and we are not swimming fast enough and we are just making big splash's that is why we kick under the water and not above.

And at the end our teacher Kelly told us that we could swim to the platform how ever we want to we could float on our backs and do sculling, we could just do regular swimming with a board we could even just try float on our stomachs and kick to the platform and then we all made it to that plat form and we got out of that pool and then we got changed back into our school uniforms and then head back to that bus and then back to school and then we can blog about our day at the pools.
