		<description><![CDATA[This week Year 4 went swimming with school for the first time. The children were very good representatives of the school while visiting Daventry Leisure Centre, so much so that they were treated to a play in the beach pool at the end of the lesson. Whilst we could not photograph our lesson we would like to tell you about it.

Oscar&nbsp;&ndash; &ldquo;We got to have a play at the session, which was fun&rdquo;

Ruby &ndash; &ldquo;I liked it, we got to practise how to swim&rdquo;

Year 4 pupil &ndash; &ldquo;I liked when we got to swim across the pool&rdquo;

Luis &ndash; &ldquo;I liked the feel of the water&rdquo;

Sophie &ndash; &ldquo;I liked it when Cerys tried to help me swim and do the &lsquo;push and glide&rsquo;&rdquo;

Leila &ndash; &ldquo;I liked it when some of us got to go in the deep end&rdquo;

&nbsp;

Over the past two weeks we have been independently writing verse for a poem, based on the theme of overcoming bullying.

Today we picked our favourite verses from our books and combined them into a class poem. Mr Gatehouse is&nbsp;really proud of them and impressed by their combined efforts to produce &#39;I rise&#39;.

&lsquo;I rise&rsquo; &ndash; A class poem about bullying

&nbsp;You can make fun of me and you can shout at me.
You can talk behind my back and roll your eyes.
But like a seed in the warm ground, I rise.

Just like the Earths&rsquo; orbit,
with a guarantee of an endless heartbeat.
Like dream leaping high,
Still I rise.

Did you want me to drown?
With pools of tears in my eyes?
Made by my sorrowful cries?

Building my self-esteem, I rise.
Still bouncing and flying, I rise
I am an asteroid, strong powerful against the cold space.
I am a wolf hunting and proud.
My power is unbreakable.

Leaving behind weeks of being distraught and scared, I rise.
Into a world that shines like a glorious sunrise, I rise.
They had the power, but now that has ceased. I rise, I rise, I rise
