Year 5 and 6 Long Distance Swimming Awards

On Friday 17 January, Year 5 and Year 6 pupils participated in their long distance swimming awards. These awards were open to all pupils in those year groups and 14 pupils swam to reach or exceed their intended goal. The pupils were trying to gain certificates and badges from 400m to 5000m.  We are pleased to say that every student hit their goal and some exceeded it by quite a long way. 

Congratulation to the following pupils:
Ben Harrison-Mirfield	5E	400m
Ayse Atak	5A	5000m
Laura Adamson	5A	5000m
Eve Kenna	5A	5000 m
Farah van der Kooi	5A	5000 m
Amalie Nielsen	5A	5000 m
Emilia Mousa	6B	400m
Sienna Wortley	6F	2000m
Rafae Mian Cudmore	6D	2000m
Isobel Leap	6E	3000m
Beatrice Tinsley	6E	3000m
Maddie Harrison Mirfield	6A	5000m
Digby Rushton	6B	5000m
Danielle Doherty	6B	5000m

 

As you can imagine it takes a great deal of stamina and endurance to swim 800m (32 lengths) let alone 5000m (200 lengths). What an excellent achievement!  We will be holding Year 3 and Year 4 long distance awards in the summer term.
