Wanstead Pop-up Pool...

Recently, myself and some other children from Fairlop have been going to the pop-up swimming pool in Wanstead to learn about life-saving and water polo. I believe that it is safe to say that everyone that has been going have all thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
We only have thirty minutes in the pool to learn water skills which have boosted our existing knowledge of how to swim!

As a result, we know how to:

• take part in water sports/games
• save a life in the water
• swim advanced swimming strokes

I believe that these extra sessions have been a phenomenal benefit to all of us.

I was also very luck to have been selected to meet Boris Johnson at the Pop-up pool (as he has funded the pools). Whilst there I was also fortunate enough to meet many other political figures, although I can't remember their names. This was a wonderful experience for me!

Sport Relief 2014

On Friday the 21^st Fairlop Primary was celebrating sports
relief. We all came to school in sportswear and brought one pound in to support the charity.

As well as this fantastic day, we had a film crew come into our school. They knew our school were very sporty and had won awards! We were so lucky to have someone so special to come in. They filmed the athletics squad and the netball team.

The netball team played against Caterham High School, which had some of our old netballers, and had a superb victory, 6-0. We were surprised to win as we have never won against year sevens. As great as this day could be for us, we had the speed stacking competition!  It was a hard competition, as every class wanted to win and get the trophy. Names of the netball team: Stecie, Kyra, Amy, Ermidiana, Zoe, Jodie V, Isobel B,

To finish off the filming we had an assembly with the school’s sports committee and the people who are in Fairlop’s sports teams and clubs. It was during this assembly that Ms Brannan received the award, the School Sports Award Gold Level.

It was wonderful but busy but the whole school enjoyed every little bit of it!
