Swimming Gala Reducks

I hope everyone had a great time at the Swimming Gala yesterday. It was certainly exciting for me sitting in the office and putting all the scores into the computer, except for the one that Mr Howe did. It was very close all the way through and I can't believe that East and South actually had exactly the same scores after all of those races. Well done to West for winning the competition, even though they had the fewest swimmers.


Of course, it would have been better if everyone had turned up. I know that the House Leaders and Mr Hugo were really pleased with the competition and co-operation and teamwork that everyone showed. It's just a shame that some people decided that, even though they weren't ill, they just didn't want to be part of a school event and stayed at home. One person in our class came to the Swimming Gala even though he was ill, he wanted to join in so much.



It's important for all of us, that in order to get better at helping others, working together and building a school spirit, we should join in with the things that we do as a group. If we miss out, we aren't just missing out on a swim; we are missing out on the experience, the chance to learn new things and make new friendships. I'm sure all of the people at the Swimming Gala will remember their day. I wonder what those people who stayed at home with their tvs will remember.
