Is learning to
swim important?
Newsround
Article (10th November 2015)
Almost
half of children leaving primary school can't swim well enough according to a
report by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA).
The ASA say that
children should be able to swim the National Curriculum standard of 25 metres
without any help before they reach secondary school.
But many schools say
that getting you guys to the baths and back again without taking up too much of
the school day is a real struggle.
We are lucky enough to
have swimming lessons at school. Not all
children learn to swim at school. Do you
think it is important? Try to come up
with three arguments for (reasons why children should go swimming in school
time) and three arguments against (reasons why children should not go swimming
in school time). Try to write at least 2 sentences for each reason (one to give
your reason and one to explain it). This means you should write 12 sentences in
total.

Yes it is very important because when we are in a water then is not up to our fetes then to no how to swim.Yes it is very fun to learn how to swim.
By Ana-Maria
Three reasons why I think it is important to have swimming lessons in school time are:
ReplyDelete1. Swimming with school is free. This is good because some people can't afford to have swimming lessons.
2. Children need to learn to swim to help them be safe. This is good in case they get in to trouble near water and they don't drown.
3. It's fun to swim at school because you are with your friends. Swimming on your own is boring.
Reasons why it is not good to go swimming in school time are:
1. School pays for the swimming. This is not good as this means school has less money for other equipment and toys.
2. It takes time out of lessons. This is not good as it means you miss maths and literacy time.
3. People get silly and noisy when they get together in the changing rooms. This can be annoying and stressful for other people swimming.
BY JAKE.
It is important to know how to swim but you don't have to learn it at school. My first 'yes' reason is that some people don't have the time or money. Any family might not get paid much at their job or might be to busy over the week. My second 'yes' reason is that it is completely free. For swimming lessons you have to pay a lot of money but school swimming is free. My third 'yes' reason is that you can learn with your friends but not in a classroom. It is more fun and you don't get told off that much. My first 'no' reason is that people who pay and swim hear all the noise the children make and get disturbed. Paying customers shouldn't be disturbed in their swimming by 27-30 noisy children. My second 'no' reason is that children are missing their learning time. Children need to have full education time. My third 'no' reason is that the council has to pay for the children's swimming lessons. Why can't the parents pay for their children's swimming lessons. I am taking the 'yes' side because it is completely free and fun to swim from school.
ReplyDeleteArguments for and against swimming lessons during school times:
ReplyDeleteA lot of children under the age of 12 would have been on holiday at some point where there was a swimming pool or the sea. Being able to swim means that you are less likely to drown on holiday.
You could be invited to your friends swimming party. If you could not swim you might be too embarrassed to go so being able to swim means that you can socialse with your friends and have confidence.
Swimming is a good form of exercise. I think swimming should be classed as a P.E lesson. If we learnt to swim at school we will have this skill for life and we can use it when we are older to have fun or keep fit.
My first reasons against swimming lessons during school time are people with long hair do not get any time to dry it. In the winter they could get sick and need time off school.
My second reason is that swimming isn't as important as some other lessons. There aren't many jobs that involve swimming when we are older.
My third reason is it might be expensive. This money can be used for other resources.
I think swimming lessons are important and they should still go on during school time.
The argument is that learning to swim important?
ReplyDeleteWell you may think that it is not and other people think that it is important. So we will see if its not or if it is.
This is the paragraph for swimming is important in school. Swimming is important in school because then you won't be able to wash your hair with shampoo. The second reason is that the school swimming its near to the swimming. The third reason is if you join both home and school swimming then you will get more practice.
This is the paragraph for swimming in school is not important in school.In school swimming is not important
because we may get cold in winter. The second reason is that we spend more time off-study. The last reason is
that when we go swimming we need to carry all the swim
accessories.
I think that I would believe that in school swimming is
necessary because we may not get to go swim classes with
our family.
Is swimming important?
ReplyDelete1. People should go to swimming if you fall in river.Then if you fall in river you need to swim to get out from the river.
2. People sholuld able swim by year seven. In high school its very important to swim 25 m it also is in national curriculum.
3. Swimming is important to relax.You can also stretch your mucles and it show how to float in water.
1.People should not go swimming some get ill.When its winter the water is cold so people get fever.
2.People should not go swimming beacause they have to have a bath at home.They can have a shower at school time.
3.People should not go swimming beacause they get allergic.They can get allergic by the water because they have chemicals.
I think swimming is very important because it can save your life. EXAMPLE:if you were drowning (in the sea) swimming would be very very helpful.Also the teachers get to MARK WORK.
ReplyDeleteBY Mokshika
ReplyDeletePeople might say that you should be able to swim 25 metres non-stop.
ReplyDeleteShould be able to swim:
I think people should be able to swim because it could save them. For example, if you are drowning you could to treding-in water to keep your head above the water. On the other hand swimming is an exercise. If you are lazy and weak this is a good exercise. Swimming is fun. I feel swimming is a fun sport. I have more friends because I swim with them.
Don’t need to swim
You don’t need to swim. It’s not like you have to swim if your best friends invited you to swimming party and you can’t swim, don’t go. Swimming can kill you! If you try to swim in a deep pool and you don’t know how to swim. Swimming can give you ear infections and all kinds of other viral or bacterial infections. These infections makes one suffer a lot.
I think I would swim because it is a good skill to learn and it can save you from boat crashes.
I think that children should go swimming because it's a fun sport and a calm
ReplyDeletesport children should learn to swim in case they are in a competition.I think children shouldn't go swimming because you could do science or literacy even maths people can't swim and are not fast.90% of children get barruca s so they could spread and there will be half of the school will be off
Are you trying to be the wind or something?
DeleteAdam are you being the wind?
DeleteWhy children should go to swimming in school time?
ReplyDelete1. Children should go swimming in school time because it is free. If it is lots of money less children will join the club.
2. Children should go to swimming in school time to learn how not to drown. If they do not learn swimming and they go to a place with water, they will drown.
3. Also children should go to swimming to grow taller. If they don't go to swimming they will be short but if children do go for swimming their arms and legs will stretch and they will grow taller.
Why children should not go to swimming during school time?
1.Children should not go to swimming classes during school time because if they do, their lessons will get shorter. If their lessons get shorter they won't be able to learn very much.
2. Also they should not go to swimming because it makes their hair wet. If the hair gets wet, they will catch a cold and they will miss school days because they will be at the doctors.
3. Children should not go to swimming because they will get tired. If they get tired they will not be able to concentrate on their work.
By Shreya
Shreya are you sure that you grow taller by swimming?
DeleteWe have to do swimming lessons because if we don't know how to swim and if we try to swim ourself we could drown.If you know how to swim you can save yourself in a flood,sea or any deep water.And it is also a really good exersise so by doing swimming we can keep ourself fit.
ReplyDeleteIt is really good to go swimming in school time because you can have fun with your friends and you can practise the technics that you had been learning in swimming lessons.
You shouldn't go to swimming in school times because you will be very tired when you come back from the swimming hall and you will miss your time learning subjects like Literacy,Maths,Science and other subjects.After your tired you cant think about anything with your mind and you will be very hungry and thirsty.
Children should go swimming in school time because:
ReplyDelete- we can learn swimming
Swimming is important and children are not scared of water.
- is health for all body
Swimming is one of the best sport where all body works, muscles stretch, heart are strong and you can control breathing.
- we don't need to pay
We have swimming for free what is important because some people don't have money for that.
Children should not go swimming in school time because:
- we lost a lot time
We lost time if is traffic and we lost time for some more learning things.
- we must be carefully
We must be carefully when diving to water because we can hit are head.
- we can drown
If children don't know how to swim they might drown.
I think that pupils should not go swimming at school time because it interfears with there learning.
ReplyDeleteI think that pupils should not go swimming at school time because the public cant do swimming because the school is doing it
I think that pupils should not go swimming at school time ,it wastes teachers time.
FOR
I think that pupils should go swimming at school time so they can learn to swim.
I think pupils should go swimming at school time because it will feel fun.
I think the pupils should go to swimming at school time because not all the time their parents can't go swimming.
The reason why we should go swimming its because some children dont even get a chance to go from home. Its inportant to learn to swim because one day you could be in danger and need to swim your way out. Also its healthy for children to excersise.The only reason I can think why they should not do it at school because its gets cold and we are always in a rush and we dont get to dry ourselves so we can catch colds.
