Hello, Last week the year 5 - 8 students at St Francis went to on buses to Waltham pool. When we got there we got changed and sat on the grass with our gear. Then the life guards explained to us the rules and then our teachers told us made us but sunscreen on. Then finally they let us go in one year group at a time. When we got in all our friend group went to the deep part of the pool and started jumping off the edge and doing massive bombs. One of our friends brought a water polo ball and we played for ages and we also had a go on the hydro slide and then got out. After the pool we came back to school and played some games. Then we went home, overall I had a great time. Have you been to Waltham pool before?

Reflection on Sport

By Anonymous -
Hello, For the past couple weeks we have been doing sport rotations. We have been playing Cricket, Korfball, Lawn bowls and softball. My first rotation was Lawn bowls, someone from Lawn bowls Canterbury came in and taught us how to play we also did a lot of fun actives with her. For softball someone from our class dad came in and taught us how to hit the ball and catch. For Korfball there was a person from Korfball New Zealand and taught us how to play and all the different rules you have to follow. For Cricket we already knew how to play so we just played a big game. Overall I really enjoyed learning and playing these sports and hope we do more. Have you done any of these sports?
