Sainsbury's Games Sportshall Qualifiers

On Thursday 20 girls and boys from year 6 took part in a very exciting Sportshall qualifier with 6 other local schools.  First the children competed in field events including chest push, standing long jump, triple jump and speed bounce. They then moved on to the track events which consisted of different relay races.  
Our team were amazing in the track events, winning many of the races and the children should be proud of their efforts.   We had to wait until Friday for the final results which were very close.  3 teams went through from our qualifiers but unfortunately although both the boys and girls teams came third in their groups, we were just pushed into 4th place overall by 4 points. 

Despite this disappointment I think the children all had a really enjoyable time competing for the school.
