• Silver medals as Hampsthwaite swim to the finals

  Thu 28 Sep 2017 Mr Phoenix

  Congratulations to the Hampsthwaite swimming team, who performed brilliantly at the Tolly Richardson swimming gala. Held on Thursday 28^th September, we competed against 16 schools at the Hydro pool. Scoring a massive 169 points overall, Hampsthwaite held a strong position throughout the gala, coming in first place in the first round, joint first at the end of the third round, and just 3 points behind the winners in the end, to come in a close 2^nd place. It was great to see the team spirit as they cheered each other on during each heat, and we had a nail-biting finish as the relay races took place. Well done to all our swimmers: Gabriel, Freya, Archie, Isabella, Louis, Isaac, Lucy, Imogen, Martha, Harry and Fynn, who have earned themselves a proud place in the finals which will take place on 17^th October.

  Thank you to Lynn, Phil and all the Hydro team who made the gala a very enjoyable and exciting event, with a fantastic atmosphere.

  

• Buddy Reading

  Mon 25 Sep 2017 Mr Phoenix

  Children across the school had a very enjoyable ‘Buddy Reading’ session on Monday. Pairing up with children from other classes, everyone was able to share their favourite book. It was wonderful to see the younger children proudly reading their books to the juniors, and the juniors enjoying reading to the little ones. There was a great range of books, and it’s lovely that many of them were clearly treasured favourites. Our buddy reading sessions really help build up a love of reading, and give the children a chance to chat about authors, stories, adventures, characters, facts and figures and more.

  Thank you to all our parents and carers for sending in favourite books!
