School Swimming Lessons
As Swimming is a statutory subject in the National Curriculum, we would like to remind parents that
all children are expected to participate in their class swimming lesson each week. If parents feel that
their child is not well enough to swim, we request that they remain at home that day. If a child is in
school but has an injury which prevents them from swimming, a letter to Mrs Young giving details of
the injury is required. If an injury persists over a lengthy period of time, we would ask that a letter
from your child’s GP is provided.
Swimming is an excellent life skill which we hope that all our children will enjoy developing.
Gym Demonstration Lessons on
Wednesday 2 nd February 2011
The children are looking forward to participating in
the Gym Demonstration Lessons on Wednesday 2 nd
February 2011. Due to timetabling constraints,
these lessons will now involve Reception to Year 3
children only. Parents are invited to watch and
admire the developing gymnastics skills of their
children.
The lessons will take place in the Sports Hall
at the following times:
9.05am Reception
9.20am Year 1
9.40am Year 2
10.00am Year 3
PE kit should be clean and
boys in Year 3 should wear
white shorts.
On Sunday 10 th April at Tonbridge Pool I am
going to swim in this year’s Swimathon as
part of a team from Monson Swimming
Club. There are four of us who will swim 50
lengths each and we hope to raise lots of
money.
All the money raised will allow Marie Curie
Nurses to provide more care to people with
terminal cancer and other illnesses.
