Triathlon 2017

What a great event we had on Wednesday 22nd March! It was our very own triathlon. A big thank you to the PTA for providing the delicious food on offer and to Mr Holloway for designing and organising the event.

It was good to see so many people out and supporting their children and our school at an event that also supports a healthy, balanced lifestyle.

The monies that were raised are going to help us to build our very own bike track so that next year the kids will be able to use the track to bike and run on. The track will also be used throughout the year.

There were some books for sale to help you enjoy reading as well as help to raise some money for our library! 

There was lots of delicious food for sale!

We needed lots of help with organising everything.

Swimming

We have had six weeks of swimming and what a wonderful time everyone has had, cooling off in our school pool and developing their water skills at the same time. 
Mr Lister, our caretaker posts the temperature every day, which has been really interesting and coincided with our maths focus on Time, at the start of the year. The temperature was never below 20 degrees when we swam and 29 degrees was the hottest it got(more like a warm bath really)!!!
It has been really great to see such a lot of resilience and positivity towards learning to swim and we have seen lots of effort and willingness to give things a go!!! This has resulted in some great improvement.
Although it was too wet for our actual swimming sports day, we all had a lot of fun on our practice days, and it gave the children some experience of how it would look and feel. Here are some photos showing how much fun we had!

Making it look easy!

In line ready to give it their best.
