A pleasant day of tennis was enjoyed by all, with 26 pupils choosing to enter the Year 5 Spencer Cup tournament. The final was Nyah and Elizabeth for the Cup and Sude and AiVy for the Plate.

 

 

Last week there were two sailing regattas held on the lake in Poole Park. The primary event was on Friday and the senior event last Wednesday: teams from Talbot Heath were entered in both.

 

The seniors sailed well with three girls sailing single handed in Gold fleet, namely Freya P, Johanna Y and Lilia V, and sailing as a pair in the Challenge fleet were Isla H and Amelia B. They all sailed well and following a re-check of the results announced on the day, the girls were moved up to be placed 3rd team overall – a superb achievement!

Last Sunday, Jemima and Erin competed in the National Schools Biathle at Leweston. Erin won the Year 12/13 race and Jemima won the Year 8 race – it was great to have Talbot Heath on the top step of the podium as National Champions in two of the six senior girls’ races with many of the top schools represented.

And finally, SWIMMING

Congratulations to Eliza C’s achievement in the water last weekend. She took part in the Great North Swim 250m open water swimming event in Lake Windermere and came 1st out of 355 entrants with a time of 3 mins 24 seconds. Her family and the school are incredibly proud of her achievement, especially as it was very windy and choppy. Well swum!
