Firstly we learnt about the different types of flags we may see when around water they were 4 flags orange windsock, black and white water sports area, red danger, red and yellow lifeguard on duty.

We then listened as the instructor explained how we would help ourselves and others if we fell into the water we took turns with  5 out with noodles holding on to it  and 5 out lie on tummy reach out to get partner then swap over and encourage your partner to shout and kick.

We then practiced if we fell in the water and how we would use various items we may have with us, 

putting our coats around our  middle and bending our knees to keep warm, and to shout help

We the Made a big circle holding hands we ran round in Water to  make a tide….makes waves. We could then feel how it would feel with the movement of water.
