Sportshall Athletics

Tirlebrook entered three teams into the local round of this year's Sportshall Athletics competition in what turned out to be a highly enjoyable and hugely successful event.

 Sportshall Athletics Success – Monday 18th November 

It was extremely exciting to take three teams over to Tewkesbury School to take part in this year’s Level 2 School Games Small Schools’ Sportshall Athletics competition. The event, which is a traditional Tirlebrook favourite and has become a highlight on the annual sporting calendar, is always competitive, great fun and extremely loud! With the latest tracks booming through the speakers throughout, including ‘Baby Shark’, the atmosphere was sizzling as the schools warmed up across the high-stepper, speed bounce, hurdles and reversaboard that made up the obstacle course. The obstacle run began the competitive races and as the afternoon progressed, our three teams participated in a range of indoor track and field athletic activities, including the 1+1 relay, the 2+2 relay, the chest push, the vertical jump, the javelin throw, the standing long jump, the speed bounce, the standing triple jump and the 4x1 relay. The children put in a wonderful effort throughout, not only in each event but also when cheering on their teammates. As the competition drew to a close, our three teams awaited their results. All of the teams performed excellently, scoring a high number of points in what was a very close competition. The very exciting news, however, is that the Tirlebrook Yellow Team amassed an incredible 268 points to secure Gold medals and qualify for the Level 3 School Games county finals for the first time ever. Wow! Several children were also awarded School Games Values bands for displaying such a wonderfully positive attitude throughout the event, including Tianna B (Determination), Tilly B & Byran C (Teamwork), Molly O & Daniel R (Self Belief) and Harrison T (Passion). Well done to all of the children for their outstanding effort and attitudes and a special thank you to Mrs. Gosden and Miss. Voller for accompanying the children, supporting the teams and enabling the event to happen. Well done!
