January Sports News

Tuesday 13th January

On Tuesday 13th January, selected children from Year 5 and 6 attended an indoor Sportshall athletics event at Swanmore College. The children were challenged to perform as best as they could at throwing, jumping and running. The children loved the atmosphere and competing against 7 other schools in what was definitely a fun and exhilarating event. Some children took part in either speed bounce, triple jump or standing long jump. After that, they took part in either the target throw, chest push or foam javelin. Finally, everyone took part in two different relays, where they won each one they competed in. The children represent the school amazingly well.
