Good morning Toucans.

I hope you all got a chance to do some work on our new whole school project ‘Save Our Seas’. Here are some more ideas for today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep working through the suggested ideas on the SAVE OUR SEAS document and view as many of the video clips as you can.

 

Message from Mrs Powell

At the age of 11, Tom Gregory became the youngest person ever to swim the English Channel.

It was 05:00 on 6 September 1988 and Tom Gregory stood on the tip of France. Behind him was his coach, John Bullet. In front of him was the vast, black, English Channel. Tom, in swimming trunks, faced the water. Out there, somewhere, was home. On the water, a light appeared in the dark. A small boat came to shore. Tom put on his cap and goggles, and walked into the Channel. He followed the boat, and, when it got too deep, he started to swim. He didn't stop for 12 hours.

Tom was 11 years old, this record has never been broken!

Wow! What do you think he saw? How do you think he felt? What would have been his biggest challenges?
