TRY-ATHLON
== We had a Year 4-6 TRY-athlon on Tuesday 16 March. We began with a run around the block, cycle around English Park and a short swim in our school pool to finish the race. The weather was beautiful and we had a fantastic time! ==

Thanks to Mitchell, Jahziah and Jesse who went around the course taking lots of fabulous photos of us!
== Well done to everyone who competed! ==

AQUA-GYM
This term we travelled to Aqua-Gym to have swimming lessons every day for a week. We were put into small ability groups and taught correct techniques for freestyle, breast stroke and backstroke. Some of us were in the large lane pool and some were in the smaller pool.

** SWIMMING SPORTS **  Swimming sports were held in Wk 4. We went to Jellie Park to compete in 50m or 25m events. Some of us competed in the fun events. CONGRATULATIONS  to all those that competed. You did Room 7 and our school proud! Lauren was lucky enough to make the Zone Swimming Sports held the following day. She competed in the 50m freestyle and the 9yr relay team which won! Her team will compete in the Canterbury Swimming Sports. Well done Lauren!
