It was lovely to see the children all engaged with this activity.

Lara Walker, Carmen Rey-Jones, Luna Mirta- Loinaz and lona Campbell woke the team into action with an outstanding 1st place relay swim, beating a tough field The session then went ‘swimmingly’ from then on.

Rachel Shutt and Jonathan Baguley led by example and managed the team well. Rachel secured a personal best which should put her in serious contention for a top spot.

Hill Road, Tockington, Bristol, The behaviour was exemplary from our Year 8 children who challenged themselves to produce the best they can and really delivered. For this reason, Colours have been awarded and are fully deserved for: Jonathan Baguley, Dalis Jones, Ceredig Jones, James Allen, Rachel Shuttand Angus Duncan In this group, we have County and National time swimmers but also swimmers who have worked hard since Reception, swimmers who have found a stroke, or found that it's polo where they can excel. Also swimmers who have enjoyed challenging themselves in a sport that is not necessarily their primary sport. They all genuinely deserve the accolade and should be proud of all they have achieved, you are all great role models to our younger swimmers - well done! ~Mrs Hinchliffe.PUN U NO TOCKINGTON ASSEMBLY WITH THE MAYOR OF THORNBURY We had a fantastic talk from Mrs Harrison in Wednesday's assembly as she gave us an insight into her role as Mayor of Thornbury.
