Oh my goodness. The job of the junior school teacher is amazing. It is like herding cats all day. It was so lovely to see nearly all of the children find their courage and do their best to complete the races in the pool. There was so much encouragement for others and a lot of laughter. A resident from next door was so enamoured of the laughter that she came onto the school grounds to see what was causing such a "joyous sound." Sadly we couldn't let her come in, but she was so chuffed by the sounds coming from the pool. For some children the problem was not about getting them into the water but getting them out. We had to try every trick in the book. Special thanks to the PALs who were a wonderful help. Five year olds are slippery customers. Brilliant job teachers and well done tamariki.
