Swimming Festival

-

 


Eight children ended the first week back at school with an aquatic adventure. The intrepid, but not yet proficient swimmers enbraced the challeges set for them by WFSSN at the Year 5/6 Water Confidence Festival.

As they delved into the realm of water confidence, the children took part in activities and races, with their'noodles' (floats) supporting their aquatic dreams. They swam on their fronts and backs, every stroke a testament to their growing confidence in the water. 

The afternoon's excitement reached it's crescendo when they and  other children from the across the borough united and embarked on a 'beat the clock- treasure hunt'. 

Within the walls of Leytonstone Swimming Pool the sound of fun and laughter echoed through the air. They left the pool at the end of the day with the invaluable treasure of new friendships and newfound water confidence.

  Good luck and farewell Mrs Palmer after 25 years of excellent service! Mrs Palmer started at St Patrick’s in January 1999 as a Teaching Assistant.  She joined the Registered Teaching Programme (RTP) and her first teaching role was in Reception. Mrs Palmer has had many significant roles at St Patrick’s such as Religious Education Lead, Literacy Lead and Music Coordinator.  Currently she teaches music two days a week in school which she absolutely loves to do; this is where she comes alive with her joy of music and singing. Mrs Palmer’s collaboration with Waltham Forest Music Service has been amazing and has enabled our children to flourish in their musical abilities, from performing in borough-wide competitions and shows to becoming confident players of both the recorder and ukulele. One of her specialities is to rewrite the words of popular songs to celebrate teachers getting married, having babies, leaving, moving to new schools or celebrating milestones at St Patrick’s. Mrs Palme
