54 swimmers represented Shrewsbury on Saturday at Harrow 2Fast 2Furious and Bangkok Patana Sprint Challenge swim meets. 

A Harrow 2Fast 2Furious, swimmers competed over 25m in Butterfly, Backstroke, Breaststroke, unfortunately a storm stopped the swim meet in the middle of freestyle.

For many of our U10 swimmers this was their first ever swim meet and they all performed outstandingly achieving new personal best times.   

Congratulations to our 3 highest improvers:

1. Kin R 16.5s Personal Best Improvement
2. Grace 13.65s Personal Best Improvement
3. Kin A 13.12s Personal Best Improvement

Unfortunately due to the storm it was not possible to complete all the events, at the point the meet was concluded Shrewsbury were in 2nd Place

Congratulations to the following swimmers who placed in the top 3 point scorers in their age group:

Taubberg 1st Place U6 Boys

Mona 1st Place U6 Girls

North 3rd Place 7-8 years Boys

Nana 2nd Place 7-8 Years Girls 

Full meet results and rankings can be found in the results page here

Medals and Trophies will be sent to the school after the half term break, those swimmers who have received a medal or award will be contacted when they are available to collect. 

In another rain and storm affected swim meet at Bangkok Patana swimmers competed over 50 and 100m at the Sprint Challenge Swim Meet. For our more seniors swimmers the opportunity to race short course is always fun.

There were plenty of personal bests achieved, in a very positive start to the season. As swimmers become faster their improvements become smaller, even though they are a smaller improvement their attainment is far harder. At this level we look at the percentage improvement rather than the reduction in total time.  

Congratulations to our top 3 % percentage improvement swimmers: 

Petter total 70.73% improvement

Monty 61.04% improvement

Kari 33.91% improvement

Full meet results are available on the results page here

This was a team event and there were no medals of trophies.

Congratulations to all swimmers.

Dear Parents,

Our week started with plenty of giggles and smiles, as the children in Year 1 were treated to a “Poetry Morning”. We listened to an array of poetry, from short poems to story books, read by teachers from across the school. Over the following days, Year 1 listened to poems by Michael Rosen and were encouraged to look at poetry during Active Learning. Ask your child about a poem they’ve heard this week and encourage them to join in with you whilst reading bedtime stories and rhymes.

In Maths we started the week practising our number formation, using playdough, chalk, fingers in sand and even lego! Get creative at home and let your child practise their numbers in exciting ways. We then moved onto learning about ‘Fact Families’ for example 3, 5 and 8 are a family because 3 + 5 = 8, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 = 5 + 3, 8 = 3 + 5. Children learnt that adding numbers in any order will always equal the same answer.

In PE, the children dressed up as foxes and chased the gingerbread man. Run run as fast as you can, you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man! What great fun they had.

In Topic, we have continued to look at different weather. This week we focused on wind, some children made a windsock to find out which direction the wind is blowing. The children have been fascinated to find out how much water they’ve caught in their rain catchers each morning. Thanks to the rainy weather, lots of rain has been caught!

We hope you have a lovely weekend.

Many thanks for your support,
The Year 1 Team
