Running Updates

Let's fill you in with some of our running updates so far. We hope that you will celebrate these achievements with us.

On 19th November, the wonderful Mrs Kelly Lubbock was rather giddy after completing her first ever 10K...what an amazing achievement. 

You may have seen Governor Mr Mark Higgins pounding the streets of Wymondam, racking up the miles.

Mrs Lianne Rees has been encouraging Mrs Lizzie Warner to increase her Sunday mileage - I believe they are currently up to 12K!








The Pope family (yes, Bently too) have been plodding the paths.


On some rather chilly Thursday evening, you may see this group spurring each other on:

Mrs Lianne Rees has been teaching us about running splits (she is OFFICIALLY our champion running trainer - even though she is recovering from having a broken toe!).

The icy evenings have not stopped Miss Kerry Bradley and Mrs Hollie Pope:
The cold weather has not stopped Mr Adam Paice, who had icicles on his eyelashes at the end of a recent run.

Mr Chris Brown has celebrated the fact that he is increasing his mileage each week.

Ms Janine Salter got back on the running horse after being unwell. 🔙🐴🕛🐌.

We all managed to avoid slipping in the ice, rain and generally blustery weather!

 I'd Rather Be Reading - the start!🏃 Welcome to the first installment of 'I'd Rather Be Reading!' A few months ago, I was plodding (and I do mean plodding) along the pavement, thinking about all the books that I would like to see in school. For those of you who also enjoy a plod, this can offer a time of reflection, mindfulness, or just generally crazy ideas!  And so I start thinking about how we can raise money to buy the books that we really would like children to read. Could we have a bake sale? Oh no, whilst delicious, this would never give us enough... Could we have a read-a-thon? No, we need the books for that (hold that idea...)...Could our staff run a sponsored marathon? YES! Okay, perhaps not a whole marathon, but at least a half. I arrive at school and know just the person to talk to about this. This person loves running, is a running trainer, has oodles of energy, and is full of excitement - Mrs Rees! Of course, Mrs Rees loves the idea.   We decide to hav...

16th January  Less than 4 weeks to go!  We have now passed  £1000 in donations! Thank you so much to everyone who has already contributed.  With less than 4 weeks to go, the runners have had another successful week increasing their distance and pace despite the falling temperatures.  Mrs Palmer is continuing to be an inspiration to us all, this week she ran 16k after running 22k the previous week.  Miss Bradley and Mrs Pope have been incredibly dedicated runners this week. Running together on Tuesday after school and also at the weekend. Mrs Bradley completed her first Park Run on Saturday (in under 30 minutes!!) and then a longer run with Mrs Pope on Sunday. They both ran 10 miles, their longest run yet.   Mr Brown, Mrs Warner, Mrs Rees and Mr Paice were all out running together on Sunday morning. Mr Brown, Mrs Warner and Mrs Rees decided to finish their run in Norwich City centre, running 9 miles and treated themselves to a much deserved breakfast....
