Swimming - Thursday 11th September

 

Swimming  Lesson Arrangements
This Thursday (11^th September) we will be having our first Swimming session at the Dorchester Sports Centre (next to Thomas Hardye School, on Coburg Road).

Please bring your children to the Sports Centre by 8.45 a.m. Or, alternatively, bring them to the Year 3 classroom at school by 8.30 a.m. so that they can walk to the Sports Centre with members of staff in the Year 3 Team. Any children who attend “Breakfast Club” will walk up with the staff at 8.30 a.m.

We will be putting the children into “Swimming Groups” according to the information that we have received from you, and according to the ability level that they demonstrate in their first couple of lessons. This is how we will ensure that your child receives a lesson appropriate to their needs in a small group, taught by a qualified instructor. The instructors for these Year 3 sessions will be Mr. MacBean , Mrs. Sue Smith and Mrs. Nicole Smith. All of the other members of the Year 3 Teaching team will be present at the lesson to support in the pool and during the changing room time.

Please ensure that your child has the appropriate “swimming kit”: girls swimming costume (one-piece suit is preferable) or boys swimming trunks (not long-length beach shorts, please), a swimming hat (girls and boys) and a towel. Swimming goggles are optional. These items should be kept in a separate bag, or be in a waterproof bag inside their ruck-sacks.

If you have any concerns, please contact myself, any member of the Year 3 Team, or Mr. Farrington.
