Matilda

2006

Matilda swam her first competitive gala for Leamington Spa - a relay competition which Leamington won comfortably.

2005

I'm now 8 years old. In February we went skiing - this is me with my Dad and sister.

I started the year mad keen on gymnastics. I did my first competition the Grade 6 and came 23rd in the region. This is me on the beam. Later on in the year though, I decided the long training hours were too much and in September I decided to stop as otherwise I would not be able to do hockey at school. 

At home I'm very excited with our new puppy Henson. 

I've also learnt to sail this summer in Spain as well as in New Quay where the picture below was taken.

2004

This is a photo of me with my sister on holiday in Bangkok this summer. I'm now 7 years old and very keen on gymnastics which I do 11 hours per week as well as practicing at home. The second picture is me training with 2 of my coaches Mark in the background and Jane teaching me. My friends at school are Lydia, Emma (who are going to leave the school next year), Katie, Lauren, Hannah, Sophie and Rowanna. At gymnastics my friends are Ella-May, Jessica, Nicola and Elana.

2003

I'm now 6 years old so we've put a new picture taken on New Year's Day 2003 with my friend Amy in New Quay. I go to Warwick Preparatory School which I like very much. I enjoy art and PE at school. Out of school, I enjoy gymnastics and recently won my first club competition. My favourite band is Busted and my favourite food is lasagne.
