Crew Gerrard Fun Day (8/7/21) 😝😁

8th July 2021Simon Gerrard

Crew Gerrard have had a fantastic day in with all the fun that went off. The weather was perfect and we had such a great time. We did a penalty shoot out (which we all hope England won’t have to take part in on Sunday), a games centre, tug of war, bouncy castle and our favourite – the assault course. The list was endless! We then cooled off with our ice cream or lollipops, which just made the day even better!

I don’t want to say too much, as I think the pictures show how much Crew Gerrard loved this day!

Crew Gerrard, you were absolutely brilliant! 😆

Swimming Super Stars (7/6/21) 🏊‍♂️

7th July 2021Simon Gerrard

Today was sadly our last swimming session. We are absolutely gutted that it is ending, because we have loved it so much. This was our best session yet, as it was a fun day. We got to do synchronised swimming, had a competitive water polo match and then got to have the final part of the session playing with the equipment, racing each other and doing all kinds of other enjoyable activities.

The swimming super stars are everyone from Crew G and Crew Mc. You have really blown us away this year with swimming and have taken everything in your stride. Whether you could not swim or was confident to begin with, their has been so much progress made.

The swimming coaches were really blown away by your commitment and attitude, which goes to show that you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.

This has certainly been one of mine and Mrs Gilliland’s favourite sessions to take part in all year and we’re equally as sad that we won’t be going next week. I think a lot will even want to go swimming throughout the summer with their friends or pick up swimming lessons from where they left off!

Each and everyone of you have all made us feel lots of pride at some point during the time we have been going to swimming baths, so I want to say a massive well done!

Mr Gerrard and Mrs Gilliland 😆
