	Years 5 and 6 Trip to Nottingham Indoor Climbing Centre I am going to find sporting activities that are local and might be worth trying.  They may help you become more active or to try something new. Rushcliffe Juniors parkrun - weekly free 2k timed run for juniors It is only for juniors - if you're not a junior, how about trying one of the weekly Saturday parkrun events?    What is Rushcliffe Juniors parkrun? It is a 2k run for juniors only (4-14 year olds). If you are not a junior please try one of our weekly Saturday parkrun events instead. When is it? It is held every Sunday at 9:00am. Where is it? The event takes place in Rushcliffe Country Park, Mere Way, Ruddington, Nottingham, NG11 6JS. See Course page for more details. What does it cost to join in? Nothing - it's free! but please register before your first run. Only ever register with parkrun once. Don't forget to bring a printed copy of your barcode (request a reminder). How fast do I have to be? The aim is to have fun. Please come along and join in whatever your pace! We're friendly! Every week we grab a post parkrun coffee in The Education Centre in Rushcliffe Country Park - please come and join us!

	ISA National Swimming Gala From the Nottingham Evening Post Three speedy schoolchildren will pit their front crawl against the best swimmers in the country as part of a national competition Pupils William Merritt, Joshua Leivers and Isabel Smith have been picked to represent the Midlands this month at the Independent Schools Association (ISA) National Swimming Finals. The youngsters, who attend Salterford House School in Calverton, were put through to the nationals after picking up top marks at regional qualifiers in November. The competition takes place at the Aquatics Centre in The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London, on Saturday, January 24. The school was among 25 from across the region taking part, with the three swimmers pipping dozens of competitors to the post. William, 9, from Ravenshead, came first in the boys year four freestyle swim and will take part in the year four boys freestyle and freestyle relay. He is practicing seven days a week between school and his swimming club in the run-up to the big event. He said: “I’ve looked at some of the past scores from the competition - some of them can swim as fast as my dad “If I was to win it would make me feel like I was king of the world. “I don’t know what I would do if I won, I would be so lost with myself.” Isabel, 8, from Farnsfield, came first in the girls year four back stroke and will be representing the Midlands in the same event at the gala. She said: “I’ve been swimming about five times a week. “The regional was a bit scary, it was the second biggest gala I’ve ever been, it was really big. “If I was to win at this event It would be amazing - I want to be an Olympic swimmer when I grow up.” Joshua, 9, from Woodborough, has been swimming since he was four and is in the reserves for breast stroke after picking up second in the regional heats. He added: “I used to be afraid of the water. “After a while I just started to learn that I could actually swim and I didn’t have to worry at all. “I am amazed that I could have a chance to go into an Olympic swimming pool with all of the champions that have competed there.” Headteacher Marla Venables said: “It’s a great success and a great start to the year. “We’re all very proud of what they’ve done and how well they have behaved throughout it all.” Read more: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Junior-Notts-swimmers-set-national-competition/story-25843197-detail/story.html#ixzz3PCVn6TxH
