Swimming Success
At the end of every term Matthew does a swimming badge. He has been stuck on 100m since July last year. The teacher gave him a proficiency badge last time although he had actually been doing lengths (just to keep him happy).
Yesterday was badge day. Matthew did 20 lengths or 400m, his stamina has incresed greatly this year (since he went back to lessons in Jan), we are all delighted for him. I watched from the bench at the end of the pool, he said after "he caught sight of me and it gave him the extra energy to do it!".
Well Done Matthew, you have such determination! Dal ati! (Keep at it!)
