Water Safety Afternoon

For PBL my group ran a water safety afternoon at Hornby Primary for 22 year 6's. We did activities on the field, and activities in the pool. Overall it was really successful, there were no problems and the kids really enjoyed themselves. On the field we did some relays and played capture the flag. They got stuck into the relays and were super excited when they won. They got really competitive in capture the flag, and had heaps of fun.

Our action plan consisted of four steps: contacting the school, making a plan, writing a newsletter, and getting equipment. We achieved them all by each deadline, making it easier to complete our big goal: the afternoon. We all worked together as a team and all put work into each checkpoint, which make it easier for us to get the work done.

We believe that our afternoon taught the kids some new knowledge about being safe in the water, and also taught them how to work as a team. At the start of the afternoon we spent a bit of time talking about water safety, and asked them a few questions which they surprisingly knew the answers to. The activities we did involved working as a team, and they were all working really well together by the end of the afternoon.

Next time I think I would spend more time finding better and more educational activities, as we struggled to find activities for the field that involved water safety. We would also spend a bit more time going over being safe in the water, and try to keep them engaged as they were getting restless after a small amount of time. But in my opinion we were really successful, and there isn't much I would change.

Water Safety Afternoon at HPS



On Thursday the 30th of November from 1pm to 2:30pm, we ran a water safety afternoon at Hornby Primary School with 23 of their year 6's. Originally we were supposed to have 40 students and so we were going to have 2 groups, but we had to wing it and have only one group. For the first part we did some relays and played capture the flag on the field, and for the second part we did some games and skills in the pool. Overall the kids really enjoyed it, and had a better understanding of water safety.
