Swimming Sports
LAS Swimming Sports - 28th February 2014 on PhotoPeach - photos all taken by Deija-Lee, Imogen, Oakley, Regan, Anna and Aaron.
Today was our swimming sports for Year 4 - Year 13. Some of our Year 3 students were lucky enough to be allowed to enter today's events also. The Year 3 students who did not swim today were in charge of being the class photographers. Each student had an ipad mini and took their own photos and then created a pic collage to represent the swimming event. For only their third time using the pic collage app we think they've done a pretty good job. Special thanks to Deija-Lee, Imogen, Oakley, Regan, Anna and Aaron for these collages and the photos in the slideshow above.

Waitahuna Swimming Carnival
Waitahuna Swimming Carnival - photographs taken by the Year 4 students
On Wednesday our Year 3 students took part in the Junior Swimming Carnival at Waitahuna School and it was FABULOUS!!!!!! The students all did exceptionally well and we were very proud of them all.
Students competed in a number of events to showcase the swimming skills that they have been working on every afternoon since the start of term 1. They swam widths of the pool in a streamline on their tummy and on their back. They swam widths with the flutter board. They retrieved objects off the bottom of the pool, and raced against each other with egg and spoon. And they ended their session by swimming lengths of both freestyle and backstroke to show the cheering parents just what great swimmers they have become.
Special thank you to the Year 4 students who went along and cheered on the Year 3's, supporting them as they gave their best efforts and who were also chief photographers for the day.

Senior Swimming Sports
On Friday 1st March Lawrence Area School School held their annual senior swimming sports. This was a wonderful opportunity for us all to show case our swimming skills that we had been working on in the first 4 weeks of Term 1. The swimming sports was for all students from Year 4 - Year 13 and it was a great event.
Students selected the events that they wanted to enter. Events included either 1 length or 2 lengths of freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke. Some of our Year 4 students even entered the individual medley, which has to be some kind of record!!!
There was a lot of competitive spirit in the air as House Teams, 'Woods' and 'Read' cheered for their competitors. It was a lot fo fun and most students had either yellow or red 'war paint' on them depending on which house they were representing.
After lunch there were width races, where studnets swam freestyle, backstroke and flutterboard. These were highly contested races and it was very difficult for judges to find placings as everyone swam so very fast!!!!
Everyone had a fun day and enjoyed the atmosphere of the event. It was very noisy, very exciting and VERY competitive.
Well done to everyone in Room 4 who took part in the Senior Swimmings Sports. Many of you entered challenging events that pushed your boundaries and we are very proud of your for that!!! Look out next year....

After all of the swimming was completed we had a lovely lunch with the Waitahuna children and enjoyed a sausage sizzle put on by the Waitahuna parents, and then we returned to school for an afternoon of work.
It was terrific day and all of the children can be VERY proud of themselves! Well done team!
