The Early Childhood Swimming Carnival events took place in the small pool. This was a big day for our Prep students – the first time they had participated in this whole school event! We started off with the Grade 2 students going through the events. They raced from one end of the pool to the other and back and used noodles under their arms to kick across the pool. The Crocodile Crawl was a favourite event and the Treasure Hunt gave the students the opportunity to put their heads under the water to search for items on the pool floor.

Each grade also had some free time in the pool before getting changed and spending time eating and watching the other grades go through the event program. We returned to the school at 12 o’clock to have lunch, some play and class time before going home.

Our Preps did a great job being responsible for getting changed and were all very keen to get into the pool. The Grade 1 and Grade 2 students were very supportive of the younger students and gave a great example in their enthusiasm and behaviour.

We had a great day!
