The Junior classes will be taking part in the Learn to Swim programme this term. Swimmers and non swimmers will visit the Ystrad sport centre every THURSDAY for 6 weeks, starting this week.
Children will be put into appropriate stages and the lessons are adapted to each child. Sometimes pupils can be a little nervous in the first week but as soon as they get in the pool they have lots of fun.
Time is limited so pupils will not have time to shower and wash / dry their hair after the swim. It is sometimes a good idea to tie long hair up in a bun/plait so the water does not run down the back of their jumpers. Also please remember children need to be able to dress themselves which is sometimes tricky after swimming so easy clothing and footwear is a good idea (e.g. trousers and not tights)
Children will need to bring their swimming costume, a towel and a pair of goggles in a separate bag.
These lessons are an important part of the PE Curriculum and all pupils are expected to take part. If your child is unable to attend a session for medical reasons please can you inform the class teacher by letter.
