Non-swimmers training

Maths and PE teachers have conducted
a research concerning the nonswimmers training and the influence of
the training on swimming skills of our
students.
The collected data were statistically
processed and displayed by 8th graders
and their Maths teacher.
The non-swimmers training is organized
every year for 3rd graders in all primary
schools in Croatia and it last for 16

Nonswimmers
Based on the initial
swimming test, there
are 5 categories of
students at the
beginning of nonswimmers training in
Croatia: a nonswimmer, a floater, a
half-swimmer, a
beginner swimmer and
a swimmer.
For the purpose of easier presentation we have displayed those 5 categories in 3 basic categories:
non-swimmer, half-swimmer and swimmer.

The research data are
related to the data that
we've collected among
our students with the
Activities in and around
water questionnaire.
OUT
many of the 6th and 7th graders (who were 3rd graders in 2010 and 2011) have learned how to
swim in the non-swimmers training (a higher percentage of non-swimmers at the beginning of
training in those years)
many of today's 5th graders did know how to swim or at least were half-swimmers before
training (a lower percentage of non-swimmers at the beginning of training 2 years ago)

The ratio of swimmers
at the beginning and at
the end of the training
shows that nonswimmer training is
very efficient.
OUT
Suggestion for further research: we have noticed that last year was again a higher percentage of
non-swimmers at the beginning of training, especially in comparison with the previous year.

Pebble contest

1st to 4th graders and their teachers
have visited a nerby pond.
After observing the water-flora and
fauna world, students also had some
fun throwing pebbles in the water,
listening to the sound of it and
watching the waves they made…
The most exciting moment was
when throwing pebbles turned into a
real competition. Those exciting
moments were captured by photos
and our 8th graders created a photocomic.

Fishing comics

We have carried out a survey
(activitiy 65.) on the number of our
students who go fishing in their
freetime. We got to know fishing as a
sport discipline through watching
the World Fishing Competition.
8th graders have, together with their
Croatian and Art teachers, come up
with short stories about fishing and
made a comic (art techniques: ink
and colour pencils).

students’ fishing comics
Didactic bord games

As agreed on our last Comenius
meeting in Spain, we have prepared
two social/didactic games with
questions on the subject of water:
Jacques – Yves Cousteau game
and Water based Ludo.
We have used the boards made in
earlier activities.
