BISI Badminton Festival

A team of 6 children represented the school at the annual BISI Badminton Festival at KGGS on Thursday-we came 1st out of 9 local primary schools.
Children had to complete a series of badminton based skills and activities working as a team, accumulating as many points as possible.
                                                   Our team before the  start.

Hitting the shuttlecocks into hoops.

Swapping after 10 goes .

4 minutes per activity.

How long a rally could pairs keep going?

An agility activity-placing the shuttlecock on spots then removing them- every 5 = 1 point

Aiming into very small hoops and an upturned cone. More points if shuttle cock is in cone.

Catching skills. Katie ( a KGGS Sports Ambassador and past Marston pupil was scoring this event)

Place ball on launch pad, stomp on pad to send ball in the air-now partner has to catch it!

1 point for a catch, 2 if caught 1 handed.

Celebrating coming 1st.Super skills, team work and result.

Well done .

It was so fast moving from one activity to the next without a break that most of the team did not even have time to remove their joggers!

Back at school being presented with medals and a trophy for our cabinet.

Sportshall Athletics-Bronze Medalists

2 teams represented Marston at the Grantham and District Sportshall athletics event at The Meres on Thursday. Children had to complete field and track events, competing in a maximum of 2 field and 2 track events. Events were: 1 lap relays, 2 lap relays, obstacle relays and 4X1 lap relays, standing long jump, triple jump, vertical jump, speed bounce, soft javelin and chest push throws.Points were awarded dependent on placings. Totals were read out at the end and we came 3rd. (2 points away from finishing 2nd!). A fantastic team effort from all involved.

The boys team a mix of Y4,5 and 6.

Our whole winning team-well done all 16 of you.

A huge thanks to the parents who gave their time transporting children and a special thanks to those who were able to stay and help me make sure the  children competed in their correct events ( not as easy as it sounds  as field and track events ran simultaneous !)
