LI : To learn new life saving skills well using a life jacket.
This was our last session for swimming so we had some fun and used life jackets. We all got a life jacket an we went in the pool before we entered the pool we did a safe entry from what we learnt last week. We did got in a chain with a bunch of people by putting our hand in their life jacket and try to get from one side of the pool to another. We put our heads back and all of us used our legs to kick so we can move faster

We then did a huddle. So a group of people close together to keep warm by wrapping arms around each other if we were trapped in the ocean we would put old people or kids in the middle. Next was the H.E.L.P position. Which means heat escape lessening position. Basically we put our knees to our chest to keep us warm in emergencies. We tried to do a handstand underwater with the life jacket. But it could not be done but it could if someone pushed us down.

The last learning we did with the life jacket was how to enter water safely well wearing the life jacket. We first put one arm on a shoulder well another arm well be behind our head (to make sure we did not hit the wall with our head). Then step forward into the pool until you have fallen off (not like a jump into the pool).

We first warmed up doing streamlines. A streamline is when you put your arms up behind your head and kick. Next we did back strokes we swam with our chest facing up then flipping over to face the water. When that was done there were toys that were in the water we had to dive to find.

We first warm up before we learnt new skills. It was doing a streamline. A stream line is were you put your arms above your head then make them straight. Next we tried to save someone who is in the water well we do this we are told what we should use, and what position we should be in (we also received tips). And what we should do if were stuck in the middle of the ocean. Then we played a little game were there were little sticks and we had to garb them well not touching the ground as a challenge.

We went into the pool we first swam to an area to see what group were going into. I got put into the highest group, the first strategy we did was pan cake were we floated and spared out like a star fish and flip our self over to face up ward. The next strategy we did was the dolphin dive it is were we jump up and dive down to touch the group and go back up. We found a area were we had dolphin dive to.

The last strategy we did was we lay flat like a star fish but our legs and arms are by our side. And then we put our legs to make a ball shape then do some sort of flip in the water then come up and release our legs and swim. It was time to go so we all freestyled to were we are meant to be.

Today the Y5s went onto a bus and into swimming.We got changed and first swam on our back and kick our feet really fast.We did this 3 times before doing jellyfish.Jelly fish was when you put you knees up then made a triangle shape and putting it in the middle fast.This was hard to do as I and others were knew to doing something like this.Next we did swimming under water.The frist thing we did was to garb a toy and chuck it and go under water or duck dive.Duck dive is when you left your body up and dive.Ather that we had to swim in a hoop,It was easy and hard as it was at the bottom of the pool so you had to dive deep.Ather we got a noodle and did a horse race.We said bye as this was the last week and went back to LS1.

Today we went to the panmure pools to learn new skills for swimming.We changed our clothes and jumped in the pool,We all had to do one skill frist before anything.We had to put one arm up on the right side then swap so the our arm can go on our left side.Well doing that we had to put our head up and breathe.The task was kinda hard and most of us did not do it well,then we were put into groups form bad to good.We had a person teach us things as well,we all had to go on the side of the pool and go in slow into the water.Then we learned some other skills before playing a game.The person garbed some toys and we had to get them and bring them back.When that was done we learned another way to get in the pool safe or any type of thing that has water like a water fall.Then we learned a few more skills till we put a clothes back on and went back to school.
