Sports Day June 2015

We were lucky that the sun shone and we were able to have our annual sports day where all our children took part in House Events before taking part in sprint races. Lots of parents came to support and enjoy watching the children.

And now for the races ....

What a surprise I had when the Reception children turned round at the finish line and ran back towards me!They had practised in the hall where space was short and ran 2 'legs' of the hall so when the time came for their actual race they proved they listened well to Mrs Sutcliffe and did exactly the same for me!

So we tried again and this time ran just to the finish line!

Time for results- a happy relay winning team.

The whole school siting round the scoring table waiting to see who won the Field Events Trophy and who won the Sprint Race Trophy.
