Whilst track events were being held, field events were on the opposite side of the hall. Mrs Carley was my "right hand " helper- we learnt last year that at least 2 helpers were needed to orchestrate children to make sure they were in the right place at the right time!

A happy team
We came 7th out of 13- a great result our team had lots of year 5's and for some, their first time representing the school in a sports event. Kayley was really happy and proud when she wore her school sports jacket.
Thank you mums for all your help, the event ran very smoothly..Thank you for texting parents to let them know it finished early . A special thank you to Mrs Carley, I really could not have managed without you .
Well done children, you represented our school brilliantly. I am proud of you all.
