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

Central Park Leisure Centre.

- 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

Willow Swimming

To the parents and carers of those in Willow class,

Just a quick announcement to let you know that  03/07/17 was Willow's last swimming lesson. Therefore, there will be no swimming on the Monday coming (10/07/17), nor the following week (17/07/17).

The children this term have been fortunate to have one whole hour of swimming each week, which has shown in the amount of progress they have made. We have had children feeling slightly unconfident in their swimming ability to begin with, but now we have a multitude of children completing their 5metres, a whole width, a length and even.... Daniel Tonu and Finley Short managed to swim a whole mile in their lesson!

It has been amazing to watch the children truly flourish through swimming. Although it is now over, I would encourage you to continue swimming with them as it's an extremely important life skill and we could  even end up with some future Olympians if we persist.

Hope you're looking forward to swimming again in year 5 Willow.

Kind regards,

Miss Taylor
