YR5/6 SWIMMING GALA
On 26th January we held our Yr5/6 Swimming Gala Competition. This was a Compete themed event and was for pupils who enjoy competition. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Determination. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Determination School Games Value.
We had the following 11 schools/teams attend our event:
- Astley
- Bawburgh
- Dereham Jnr
- Garvestone
- Queen's Hill
- St Mary's
- Scarning
- Swanton Morley
- Taverham Jnr
- Thomas Bullock
- Toftwood Jnr
Neatherd High School sports leaders helped run the gala, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see 90 children involved in swimming and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their swimming skills further by putting on clubs and encouraging the pupils to join a local community club to promote/grow swimming wider in Norfolk.
