    Category - Sports

    In March 2020, 4th & 5th class participated in the 3rd & 4th class PAWS Programme. They learnt all about water safety and participated in interactive quizzes after. 

    Then, in April 2021, 4th & 5th class participated in the 5th & 6th class PAWS Programme. In this way the two curriculums were covered over the course of a year. The children got a great insight into the importance of water safety and really enjoyed completing the interactive games on the interactive board in school.
