We had a great preparation experience on Saturday at a very busy Indoor Athletics event held at Testwood School. The Sportshall was full of both competitors and spectators with lots of people watching and cheering. This made for a fabulous atmosphere but was also quite busy for our young team of Year 3 and 4’s! Each child took part in a running, jumping and throwing event and then there was the exciting mixed Year sprint relay. Our children were superb in both demonstrating patience; waiting for their turn, motivating each other and doing their best throughout the 4 hours. Although the Year 4’s were reasonably well practised, for the Year 3’s, this was their first taste of real competition and we came away pleased with our results - placing 13th out of 18 teams. We all really enjoyed it and will be looking to encourage more children to join in the preparation after school club next year. Thanks again to all the help and support from parents for being there with snacks and words of encouragement.
