• House Cross Country

  Wed 15 Mar 2017
  On a beautiful sunny afternoon the whole school took to the sports field for our annual House Cross Country event. Mrs Hyde lead a great warm up which had everyone ready for running! This was the first time that Acorn and Oak class have participated and they showed no signs of nerves as they all started at a strong pace! In the YrR/1 race Zack and William took an early lead and finished first and second respectively. Holly M was close behind in third place and the first girl to cross the finishing line. Yr2 ran a two lap course and Louie and Pippa were the first boy and girl to cross the line. The Yr3/4 race was very competitive and Conor had to sprint to pass Jayden a few hundred metres from the line. Maria showed great running and was the first girl to cross the line in sixth place overall. Yr5/6 had four laps to complete and the boys lead changed throughout but it was Aiden who put in a very strong finish to cross the line in 1st. Grace Ca was the first girl. Every single child completed the course, despite a few tumbles, and earnt points for their house- the winning house will be revealed on Friday! Thank you to all the staff who ran, parents who supported and helped and Mrs Hyde for setting out the course and leading the warm up.
