Fwd: 4 slots of Swim Classes in Greymouth on offer for Home educators.

Gidday there,

I've been contacted by pool staff in Greymouth in regards to swim lessons. The pool had maintenance last term & some large public school lessons have backed off for another term, but the pool plans to open for the new term in August. They have been taking extra measures such as increasing their water testing & frequently using watering cans to put more chlorine around the edges of the pool so that bugs should not be an issue at all.

So, Is anyone looking for a swim class for 6/7 year olds? The pool have us booked in a group slot at Thursday 11.00am, though at this point it looks likely to just be Koriniti. She is sitting around  Level 2 Advance, just needing to hold her back float for longer than 40 seconds & work on her rotation, then I guess she will be going to the next level - usually covered by public school swimming classes.

The pool are kindly open to having homeschoolers come in on group class fees even for one chilld and also have available slots:

Tuesday 10.00 am with Brenna

Thursday 10.00 am with  Brenna

There is also an open slot on Saturday morning, but I was uninterested in it & til I got the other slot details, was unaware of our swim-school classmates heading to school & not needing the class anymore.

As mentioned, we have bagsed the Thursday 11.00am swim class with Abby Murphy for anyone learning at level 2 or 6/7 year olds, and would love to have other people come join in.

A good thing to note is that in the past, the pool have made cost allowances for days that situations out of their control stopped lessons going forward.

(A wee tip for anyone with skin issues: The swim tutors all put coconut oil or olive oil on their skin as it puts a great natural barrier on your skin & especially on days when in the water for long periods of time, plus some families with eczema had have some relief by using it.)

Please contact Jo if interested in any of the available slots:

Fwd: HEART online - this weekend!

Soooo sorry this is so late.

Kim

 

Hello lovely home-schooling Mum! We're getting excited about hearing what our three lovely speakers have on their hearts to share this weekend! 

 

Each screening will begin at 7.30pm.  We will post the link soon on both the HEART FB page and through email, so that you can pass it along to whoever you think might like to join us. All you need to do is...organize the children to be occupied in another room (perhaps a movie and bowl of popcorn?). You might like to light a candle, make your favourite hot drink and put on your comfy slippers.  Perhaps come prepared with your bible and notebook so that you can get the most out of HEART online.

Friday evening's session will bring Janice Wills' wisdom, encouragement and beautiful smile to your screen.  

Saturday evening Sheena Harris will share nuggets and inspiration you are sure to glean so much from.   

And on Sunday evening Rosie Boom will wrap up our weekend of insightful and encouraging sessions with her wonderful passion for spurring mothers on. 

Here is the link to use : -

Fwd: HSNZ visits

Hi Folks.

In the midst of all that is going on, it can be hard to figure out just what commonsense now looks like.

Having thought about things, unless events spiral out of control in real ways, we are going ahead with the HSNZ visits as advertised. We would simply ask that we all take the following steps.

1. Obviously, if anyone is ill, don't come.
2. We will avoid physical touch.
3. Although homeschooling families often bake great treats, let's not share any food that doesn't come straight out of a packet.
4. We will cancel the shared meals where those were planned (but still have the meetings)

 

While we would really like to see as many people as possible, if individual families are still of the mind that getting together will compromise their family's health and choose to stay away, we will respect that.

 

Kind regards

Todd & Riety
