The sun shone today & Clevedon Marine Lake was at its finest, as were our young Taunton School Channel Relay teams🏊‍♀️🏊‍♂️

The water a chilly 12°C still, but 30minutes swam & in the morale bank 👊

Our Headmaster & his Deputy Head led the annual pre-season confirmatory recce of Clevedon Marine Lake. Both confirm that at this time of year it’s still chilly🥶 However, in a couple of weeks, with some sun, our prospective Channel Relay team will begin #training there🏊‍♂️👍

Well done to everyone involved. Let’s hope the finer weather will be with us soon.

And that’s a wrap on our school ski trip! Were snow sad to leave but we’ll be back carving up the slopes next year! ⛷️

We’re already looking forward to the next run!

Our new beginners, who had never skied before this week were practicing completing their turns, parallel across the mountain and weight distribution and completed their first ever red run today!!

What better way to spend an evening after skiing than flying round a Luge 🥵

Well done to everyone who took part. How did you spend your half term?

Year 3 pupils have been thoroughly enjoying being read ‘Ajay and the Mumbai Sun’ by Varsha Shah. Having read the wonderful descriptions of brewing and drinking chai tea, we made our own to help set us set the scene. Delicious! Chicken House #readingforpleasure #readingschools
