Swimming in Moutere

This term our Year 4s that didn't swim in Term 2 have swimming on Wednesday mornings. We are divided into two groups. The first group swims at 10am and the second group (along with 10 learners from Maunga) swim at 10.30am.

Every morning, a community bus comes to pick us up and take us to the Otara Leisure Centre where the swimming pools are. All learners are placed into three groups according to their swimming capabilities. Each group has a swimming instructor that helps to teach us skills in the pool.

Some things we have learned so far are: blowing bubbles, floating on our front and back, kicking with a board and lots of other things. 

 It is heaps of fun and we are so lucky to have these free swimming lessons every week. We can't wait to go swimming again next week. Yay!!

Learner Led Conferences

Last week on Thursday our school finished at 12.30pm. All parents of learners had to book in a 10 minute interview time with a learning coach. Learners had to be present to talk and reflect on their learning over the last two terms so far. In preparation for this Moutere learners had a written task that they had to write up first and then publish to present. Thank you to all the parents that were able to make their appointment times and all our amazing learners who shared during the evening. Here are some photos from learner led conferences with the awesome learning coaches in Moutere.

We also practiced evacuating to the carpark and waited until we had the all clear. Now we know what to do in case of emergency!
