Primary Swimathon
Dear Parents/Guardians
The Primary Swimathon is fast approaching. The Swimathon is an opportunity to celebrate children’s achievements in Swimming and at the same time, raise funds for two very worthy causes. We would like to invite you to come and support your child; they have been swimming twice a week since the start of the semester to improve their swimming strokes and swimming endurance.
When?
- The Reception Y1 and Y2 will be swimming on Thursday the 26th of September from 08:05 to 09:00
- The Y3 and Y4 will be swimming on Wednesday 25th of September from 8:05 to 9:05
- The Y5 and Y6 will be swimming on Wednesday 25thof September from 9:10 to 10:10
What happens?
The students will be placed in ability groups and will try and swim as many laps as they can. When they are swimming there will be a teacher tallying up the number of laps they have done. Reception classes will be in the small pool taking part in a normal class time swim lesson for parents to come along and watch. Reception A. will be from 8:05-8:30 and Reception B. from 8:35-9:00 am.
Who are we sponsoring?
Kids for Kids is an organization that facilitates sustainable solutions for communities in Darfur, through a pay-it-forward system. They provide communities with goats and water pumps, schools and healthcare. The communities are responsible for maintaining and growing their resources. For more information, please check out http://www.kidsforkids.org.uk/
Mygoma local orphanage - At any one time, the orphanage provides for the needs of up to 300 babies from new-born to 3 years old.
How do I sponsor the students?
There are two ways of sponsoring a student:
· Sponsor a set amount for the event
· Sponsor an amount for each lap swum (Children in Y1 and Y2 will swim widths of the pool)
The sponsor form below is a good way for children to be involved in keeping track of the amount they are going to raise. At the end of the event we will inform each child of the number of laps swum and this information will be sent home in contact books. We do hope you can come and support this event.
Please send the sponsorship money by Thursday the 19th of September in a clearly marked envelope in your child’s homework folder.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards
