This afternoon Year 5 had a visit from the Slough Fire and Rescue service. Children looked inside the fire engine and asked questions about how things work and what equipment is used for. They also got an opportunity to use the water hose!

We had a talk about the different types of emergencies and what to do if there was a fire. We learnt how to keep ourselves safe and even got to use a thermal imaging camera!

Just Keep Swimming!

These little fishes enjoyed splashing around at the Discovery Swim event by SSSN at Eton Pool. They competed against local schools, completing a range of water skill specific races, using a range of strokes, techniques and most of all, using TEAMWORK!

I think it’s safe to say the day went swimmingly! Super effort!

Football Fever!

The girls who attend the Penn Wood after school football club had a special treat this term at Eton College. They took part in the Slough School Sport Network (SSSN) girls football festival and were able to develop their skills by participating in a range of games and they even had some friendly matches against other local schools from the Berkshire area. Fantastic footwork girls!
