5&6 Athletics at Ridlins

Mrs Goddard and Mrs Hewitt, took a group of Year 6 and Year 5s to Ridlins on 17th June, to compete in an athletics competition. There were 20 schools there and many field and track events were scheduled. It was a very hot day but we managed to stay in the shade and keep hydrated. All the children tried their best and we were both proud of them all. Some amazing talent was displayed and 1st, 2nd and 3rd got a medal. Arthur from 6B smashed the 600m and finished 1st. Hetty jumped an amazing length in the long jump, finishing 1st. One of the organisers said that "she is very talented and technically very good." The boys relay team finished 2nd in the final and some amazing sportsmanship was shown. Another teacher from another school approached me to say what amazing children we have. One even checked on an injured child from another class rather than celebrate himself. Some children just missed out on a medal but without a shadow of a doubt, all who attended showed great resilience and awesome teamwork. Well done to you all who took part.
