Year 4 swimming Maple class

 

                  Year 4 Maple class 2024 Swimming Lesson

W/C 15.4.2024 - 17.5.2024 and 3.6.2024 - 12.7.2024

In the summer term Maple will be having swimming lessons at the 

Central Park Leisure Centre. 

All parents/carers, please complete Google Form here

Maple should get roughly 10 sessions each (STC) which will ensure 

they achieve the Swimming requirements of the national curriculum in KS2 which are to:

- swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 meters

- use a range of strokes effectively

- perform a safe self-rescue in different water based situations

The children will leave school in the afternoon, accompanied 

by Year 4 staff, and we will make our way to Central Park Leisure Centre on foot. 

We will return to school by approximately 3.05pm/ 3.15pm and children will

 be leaving from their classroom.      A reminder of what your child will need:

  • Swimming costume or swimming trunks (no bikinis please!)

  • A towel

  • A named bag to carry and store their items in

  • A swimming hat

  • Goggles (not essential, but can be worn if preferred)

Children should come to school in their uniform and will get changed 

when we arrive at Central Park Leisure Centre. Please note, no aerosols or 

powders should be given to children, as these can cause problems for children 

with asthma.

All children, regardless of ability, will be taking part in swimming lessons as 

they are a National Curriculum requirement. Children will only be exempt from

 lessons with a signed and dated doctor’s note or certificate. 

If you have any questions or queries about this or any other swimming related 

issue, please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year 4 team via year4@broadford.havering.sch.uk
