The children will be able to sample their creations as part of a lovely picnic in the afternoon. Yummy!

Special mentions to Ella, Corey and Lola who made a special effort to really “WOW” us with their colourful and beautifully presented timelines.
Swimming for Lessons
As part of our initiative to ensure that our children grow up making healthy choices, we are always looking at how we can support children both in and out of school. By supporting children, we also look for ways to support you too.
One of the aspects we feel passionately about supporting is swimming. Swimming is such an important life skill. We have recently changed how we teach swimming, so that all of the children receive the highest quality teaching at the most appropriate venue, which will meet their needs.
We would encourage you to take your child swimming as often as you can. For some parents, this can be a difficult task, as they may not feel as confident in their own swimming abilities. We have been investigating and found that adult lessons are held 3 times a week at Wellington Leisure Centre.
Monday night 8 – 9 pm
Wednesday night 8.15 – 9.15pm
Thursday lunchtimes 1.30 – 2.30pm.
The first lesson is free and then you pay as you go – TLC card holder £6.90, CONCESSION TLC holder £5.95 and no card is £8.65.
There is no need to book lessons – you can just turn up. You will need 20p for the locker and the changing room is a mixed area with individual cubicles. The pool is lifeguarded at all times and there are 2 instructors who teach from both in and out of the water.
The lessons are not structured like the children’s lessons as the adults needs are very different, although they are in the water all together they are coached on an individual basis with the instructors giving one to one help and advice to each person in turn.
It is never too late to learn and it sets a really strong example to your children, particularly if they are reluctant swimmers. Please speak with Mrs Powell / Mrs Pike or Mrs Bishton if you would like any more information. Alternatively, you can contact Wellington Leisure Centre directly.
