Did we do it? WE CERTAINLY DID!
We reached Australia a day early, and with nearly 100 miles to spare. That was Friday. On Saturday we had set ourselves the task of swimming the Channel, 22 miles, in William Gregg pool. We not only swam the Channel, we swam it back, and an extra 7 miles for good measure! A huge thank you to all the children and parents who joined us to swim.
The triathlon has been an amazing adventure. We have enjoyed getting fitter, seeing how far we had come each day, and of course, raising money to enable us to continue doing the things that makes our school special. Thank you to everyone who has taken part, to all our visitors, well wishers and friends who have supported us, and especially to Mrs Rhodes for having the idea in the first place, and organising it all.
And - we raised the grand total of £2100! A fantastic result. Well done, everyone.
