Water Fun Day

Yesterday was Water Fun Day. We had lots of different water based activities - including old favourites   bubbles, the paddling pool and sprinkler. We also had some new favourites including sponge war and water painting.
We all had an awesome day except maybe Daniel who couldn't get his cast wet.

Swimming

We used the lovely weather on Friday to catch up on the swimming we missed on Monday (when the water was a chilly 18 degrees). It might have been our warmest day yet. I hope next week is as warm though the weather doesn't look promising.
Pleased to be in the water.
Rocket arms.
Time for a quick play at the end.

Cricket Training

Today we had our first cricket lesson with Matt from Hutt District Cricket Club.
We focussed on fielding - throwing and catching skills.
   


Thanks to Matt, who was great. We all enjoyed being out in the sun learning new skills.
