Swimming Gala

On Friday 15^th May we took part in our first swimming gala. A team of 21 children travelled to Great Yarmouth High School to compete against other local schools. Everyone in the team was nervous and with only a couple of children having previously swum in a gala before there were lots of questions; Where do I swim? When do I swim? How far have I got to go?

As the races began, nerves settled and every competitor swam as fast as they could. Overall Martham came second. Congratulations to all the children who took part and to the organisers. Particular congratulations go to the three children from Martham who came first place in their races, Sarah in the girls front-crawl, William in the boys front-crawl and Stanley in the boys backstroke and breaststroke.

Last weekend saw Martham village hold its annual Scarecrow Festival. Although Sunday saw poor weather conditions to begin with Bank Holiday Monday more than made up for it with glorious sunshine. The children and staff worked hard producing scarecrows and yarn bombing outside of the  premises for all visitors to admire. If you didn't manage to come along and see for yourself have a look at our pictures below.
