Therefore, for every 10 steps we perform we have climbed 3m up the mountain. Every spare moment we have, we add a few more metres to our total. After the first week, we have climbed a total of 619m. It’s harder than you think, but it’s keeping us fit and active. Mount Everest is 8848metres high so we have a long way to go! Better keep climbing! ![](https://yarmprimaryschool.net/images/blog/401.jpg) [ The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch](https://yarmprimaryschool.net/blog/2019-01-18-00-00-00-the-lighthouse-keepers-lunch) [This weeks homework ](https://yarmprimaryschool.net/blog/2019-01-18-00-00-00-this-weeks-homework) ![Yarm Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/yarm-primary-school-2/images/logo/Yarm-Logo(1).png) ### Yarm Primary Academy Spitalfields Yarm STOCKTON-ON-TEES TS15 9HF 01642 782731 ### Social Media - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/yarmprimaryschool/) © Copyright 2026 Yarm Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://yarmprimaryschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
