Swimming comes to an end and cross country running begins

It is the beginning of the Winter Sports season so get involved and sign up for a club - if you aren't part of any club why don't you try table tennis? I think there is a club in Southbrook and there is a social league at Fernside Hall for adults too.


Do you have a swiss ball or moon hopper at home that is cluttering up the shed? Perhaps you want to donate it to the School?


Cross Country training will be more pleasant in the cooler days so please wear sports' shoes laced up well (Skatey shoes do not support your feet in activities which involve running. They do not give your ankles and heels the support you require, especially in the years of huge growth. You need shoes to fit snugly so you can dodge and change direction quickly.
Distances for the School cross country vary from 1 - 3km. These are not difficult distances for years 4 - 8 and will be easier still if you are prepared. Get walking on a daily basis, then run some of it, building up to the distance your age group will run.
Getting the firewood split and stacked is my next activity!
