Survival Swimming

Our very last session of swimming involved our group taking part in a Survival Swim.  We had to come fully clothed - (long pants, long sleeved top, socks and togs)!  


The first task was to dive into the water and then swim immediately for four lengths as a warn up before beginning a programme that involved another ten lengths of swimming.  The last part had us treading water for three minutes.  as a cool down we got to take our clothes off and swim the last length in our togs - the difference was amazing......we felt so fast!

Portraits - second 10











Portraits - first 10


We have been exploring the art works of Robyn Kahukiwa.

Mrs Young took a photograph of each member of our class.  Once it was enlarged to A3 we traced our image onto another piece of paper.  We had to pay attention to where the shadows formed on our faces in our photograph.  Using paint, we recreated the shadows to give our faces more detail.

Finally, we filled our background with pieces of advice that have been given to us over the past two years.
