Kia ora whānau,

Our Year 5 and 6 students have a water safety session at school this week.

Students will practice what it feels like to fall into the water fully clothed. To learn this skill properly, they need to wear clothes that get heavy when wet. Please do not send quick-dry or sports clothing. Everyday clothes like heavy trackpants and cotton t-shirts work best.

What to bring:

• Togs (swimwear) and a towel
• Heavy clothes to wear over togs in the pool (e.g. cotton t-shirt, heavy trackpants, or a sweatshirt)
• A plastic bag for wet clothes

Days

• Thursday 12 November (Tomorrow): Rūma 2, 4 & Te Puawaitanga A & B
• Friday 13 November: Rūma 3, 5 & Te Putiputi

If you have any questions, please speak to your child's classroom teacher or call the school office.

Kia ora!
