Year 3 & 4 Athletics (28/11/2017)

We came 2nd in a Year 3 & 4 Athletics competition!

 Similarly to the year 5 and 6 Athletics event a couple of weeks previously, we took a team of year 3 and 4 children to Starbank school to take part in an Athletics competition. We competed against various other schools in a range of track and field activities such as 4x1 relay, obstacle relay, vertical jump, javelin and speed bounce. Our boys team got off to a flying start in their first event, obstacle relay, as they won their heats and set the fastest time of anyone overall! The boys continued strongly on the track as they set the 3rd fastest time in the over and under relay, 2+2 relay and the hurdles but did even better in the field as in every event they finished in the top 3! We topped the javelin and chest push scores, were 2nd in the vertical jump, five strides and long jump and posted the 3rd highest score in the speed bounce. The girls performed just as well as the boys in their heats in the races, finishing 2nd in both the obstacle and 1+1 relay and coming in in 4th place in the 2+2 as well as the 4x1 relays! The scores from the girls were equally as impressive on the track events, ending in the top 5 in all of them. We got the highest score in the chest push, were 2nd in five strides, 3rd in javelin, 4th in long jump and 5th in speed bounce and vertical jump! All the scores posted throughout the event and added to each teams overall score and as we had done so well in all of the activities we finished in 2nd place overall and were awarded the silver medals! Well done all, you should be very proud of how you performed!
