Swimming

Every day for two weeks we have been going to Moana Pool to learn how to swim. (and to have a bit of fun as well!)

We get there by bus. Sometimes we get to watch TV on the bus!

When we get there, we get into our togs and walk up to the pools.

Some of us have lessons, while the others have a free swim in the wave pool.

Sometimes the teachers get in the water too and Emma and Julie.

We learn to float on our tummies and our backs. We learn to blow bubbles under water. We learn to use kickboards to help us move through the water. We learn to do strokes.

This is the whirl pool. We love the whirl pool because you can go really fast round the cornors.

We love going swimming every day. We do get a bit tired in the afternoon though.

Our learnings on the Human Body

We have been looking at the human body and everything it does for us! We learned some pretty cool stuff! Here are some of the things we now know!

Lungs make you breathe in and out. – Cameron

You heart pumps the blood.
Your brain is nice and squashy. Mya

Your heart doesn’t ever have a break. Jacob

Your heart goes every single day, even when you’re asleep. Bethany

The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body and the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body! Sam

When you sleep the blood keeps going around and around and it gets oxygen from the heart. Lynley.

The smallest bone is in your ear. Courage and Natasha

Your knee joint lets your leg bend. Natasha

Your blood goes to one part of your body and then it goes back up to the heart to get more oxygen and then it goes to another part of the body. Blain

Muscles help your bones move. Reyana.

You have over 200 bones in your body. Krystal

Your blood goes all over your body and then it starts all over again. Nathaniel
