Athletics Report

On the 8th July we competed in a KS2 athletics championship at the Guttmann Stadium at Stoke Mandeville.  We all tried our best in all events and did amazingly well coming 4th overall.

We started the event with the Year 5/6 long jump, with Shana going first.  She did very well coming 5th out of 12 teams.  She overcame stones in her knees to achieve this!  Whilst Archie was placed 7th out of 15 in the year 5/6 long jump. John and Martha also took part in the long jump.

Sofia and Lucas both took part in the Shot event.  Again, we are proud of their achievements as Lucas came 4th and Sofia 3rd.

The next event was sprinting and Jacob came 1st in the Year 3 boys sprint!  Winnie ran next and overtook many of her competitors.  Austin and Alice did very well in the year 4 sprint races.

The long distance event was running 600 or 800 meters- this was a long race on the track!  Leeana, Theo, Sofia and Jack were impressive!

The event was concluded with the dramatic track relay.  Great fun, but no medals…this year!

We had a great evening and can’t wait to try again next year.
