Oakura School Room Tawa 2022

  We had a swim safety lesson today. We wore clothes over top of togs, 'fell overboard', treaded water for a minute, removed clothes (NOT togs), and continued treading water until the 'boat' came back, raised our hand to indicate we needed help, and were finally rescued! It was a tricky task but one that taught us the importance of always being safe and aware of our environment.

  Girls Football Sessions On Friday afternoon Tawa girls headed out to learn some new skills. There is a girls football tournament coming up later this month which we hope tp be able to enter a team into. The girls quickly realised that they were more capable than they thought!

 Safety First! A timely reminder that it is not safe to walk behind the parked cars at the 4 Square. Use the Donnelly Street crossing then walk along the main road.

  Water Safety with Chloe This week we had a session in the pool with Chloe from Water Safety NZ. One key thing we did was swim without our goggles. If we were out on a boat or kayak we wouldn't be wearing goggles so it was important for us to work without them on. We also talked about which ways of staying afloat would conserve our energy more - so we doggy paddled and floated.

 Swimming Time We are underway again with our swimming programme. Today we enjoyed showing off some of our skills before having a bit of fun. 

  Maths Week 2021 This week we have been solving different types of maths problems, taking part in maths mania and today we got dressed up as something to do with maths!

 Cycle Safety Skills Our sessions are underway with the whole class taking part this week. Here we are in action...
