100m mass relay challenge

On Friday all Inspire+ schools were taking part in a 11m relay challenge .The aim was to see how far on the road to Rio the combined total would take them
Our Bronze Ambassadors marked the track out ready for children to run round.
The field dried up after break so at 11 am we began with class 2 running first following a demonstration from Joseph and Casper.

We ran 114 X 100m in our hour with class 3 running for a second or even 3rd time after everyone in class 1 and 2 had run.

We look forward to hearing the grand total.

Thank you boys for helping me with this event.

Class 1 told Mrs Sutcliffe that we should do that every day! I promised to organise it every year!

Ben Smith 401 marathon challenge 4th May

(Apologies for late appearance of this Blog - it was in the draft folder and I only realised when I cross refenced it in our anti bullying Blog !)

Through Inspire+ we had an invitation to join Ben Smith at The SKDC stadium for one of his 401 consecutive marathon.Ben started his first marathon on 1/9/2015 and has been running a marathon daily in an attempt to raise money for 2 anti bullying charities.

Class 3 were invited and these 7 children joined Ben in his warm up laps and the first lap of his marathon in the stadium .

Warming up...

Looking forward to this...

2 of our boys were keen to race ahead-Ben took it rather longer as he had another 26 miles to run!

Meeting Ben

Ready to wave Ben off on the rest of his marathon...

                                                          Good luck Ben...

Keep running Ben on your 247th marathon.

The weather kept fine for us and we held our annual sports day at the Village Hall field.
