Children’s triathlon triumph
Overall 44 children from years 3-5 took part in the triathlon. The course for year 5 children included six laps of the school’s pool, eight cycle laps of the field and finished off with running four laps of the school playground.
Teacher Stephanie Downes who organised the event said: “The children all did brilliantly and the event was a great success. One of our parents, Steve Clough-Young, helped us on the day together with two of his friends – all three competed in triathlons for Team GB last year which the children were very impressed by!”
