Swim For Life

Swim for Life

Throughout Term 4 Room I have been participating in the Sea Lord Swim for Life programme. The children go to the Makino pools Wednesday and Thursday’s each week to work with some wonderful swimming instructors.

The children have been learning how to swim for survival. They have been working on swimming in clothes, with life jackets and learning how to pull others to safely using a range of devices.

Room I have thoroughly been enjoying the programme. Here are some photos of the children completing a range of activities in the pool.

The 'Royal Visit'

Last week, BEAUTIFUL Feilding had some special visitors...

Prince Charles and Lady Camilla came to town!!!!

On their way through to the middle of the square, to visit the farmers market, they drove past Manchester Street School. The entire school went out onto the road to wave and welcome them to our small, but wonderful town.

Here are some of the photos Andrew took of the event- Miss Kyle got a good one on her phone of Camilla waving out of the car window!!! (We will try and load it onto the Blog :)) The rest of the photos show the excitment from the day, but as they drove past quite quickly we missed out on getting some better shots.









Have a wonderful day....
