27 May 2010 ~ Year 6's Triathlon

         

One of the things that mark out the staff and pupils 
at Breakspear Junior School is their willingness to 'have a go'.  
It looks difficult, it looks a challenge, it looks as if it needs effort! 
While others may retreat at this point, 
the BJS response is, 'It looks exciting! Let's do it!'

And so it was that on May 27 most of Year 6 
had signed up to a day at Gurnell Leisure Centre in Ealing 
to have a go at a Triathlon - a great day's fun, accessible to all 
(adapted for those with special needs), keeping fit, and at no cost!

What did they have to do?
Swim, cycle and run!

First, a short swim of 40-60 metres
Then a traffic free cycle of 800 – 1200 metres
(sorry, only one photo here)
 And then a run of approximately 300 metres.
Oh, and of course a well deserved rest, snack and exchange of experiences.
