Field events:

Chest push 

Standing jump

Crooksbarn have been training for a fortnight. They have been giving up their own time to coach each other. This is all thanks to Mrs Jones, the sports teacher, for coaching the pupils. Also a big thank you to all the sports leaders for helping setting up the equipment.
