Wow! what a week it has been and we haven’t finished yet.
On Monday morning 8 Year 2 children took part in a Gymnastics competition held at Tribe Gymnastics. They each performed two routines, 1 floor and 1 vault which they have been practicing for the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we don’t know the result of this competition yet as there are more heats taking part throughout the week.
The first of our County Finals took part on Monday afternoon. Our Year 4 speed stackers travelled to Leamington to compete against 15 other schools from Coventry, Warwickshire and Solihull. Despite their best efforts and lots of practice at home we didn’t quite finish in the top 3. I don’t know the exact result yet but when I do I will let them know.
Tuesday was a day for rowing with 2 County Finals taking place in the morning and afternoon. The first competition was an all-boys row, they had to race both individually and then in a relay. This was extremely competitive and very very tight from start to finish. There were 16 schools taking part overall and they finished in a fantastic 8th place.
The afternoon saw 4 more children from Year 6 take part in a competition called 4 U Row. The format was very similar to the morning event with individual and team rows. The team all rowed fantastically and all achieved PBs in all their rows. This meant that out of the 16 schools they finished in an incredible 2nd place.
Finally, this morning children from Years 5 and 6 took part in the Sportshall Athletics County Final. This time they were competing against 7 other schools in various different races and field events. Again the event was extremely competitive, but despite this, we finished in a superb 4th place with 240 points just 14 points from 2nd place.
I am extremely proud of everyone who has taken part in the competitions this week. Getting to just 1 County Final is a real achievement but they have managed to get to 4 in just 1 week. Their behaviour, sportsmanship, determination, respect and most importantly enjoyment has been a pleasure to witness. Well done everyone!
Tomorrow it’s the turn of our Cross Country runners who will be taking on lots of others schools from across Coventry as they run for 1 mile around Bablake Fields. Good Luck!
PS. A big thank you to Mrs Rae for coming along to all the events, without her we would not have been able to attend.
