Aqua Dragons
Using sport to impact on leadership, literacy and numeracy
What are the Aqua Dragons?
Aqua Dragons is a PESS initiative in South Central Wales working in collaboration between Michaelston Community College and Herbert Thompson Primary school. The Post 16 boys from Michaelston were given Dragon Multi Skills training on dry land as a starting point to the project. Their role was to use this training with the younger students in the pool to develop a range of skills through physical activity.
Our aims
Through this collaborative approach we will be developing students confidence both in the practical activities in the pool but also in working with new people. We want to raise self esteem and motivation of the students from Michaelston and Herbert Thompson.
Once this first phase has been completed the next step is to look at the impact on the students learning, to improve literacy and numeracy skills through physical activity. to make the skills relevant in a different setting.
