On Wednesday 16^th June the athletics team took part in the Elmbridge + Runnymede Primary Schools District Sports at Stompond Lane. This year there were 20 schools competing which meant over 800 children running, jumping and throwing for their schools.

 

In beautiful, bright sunny conditions and a terrific atmosphere (with not a single vuvuzela in earshot!) the action came thick and fast on both track and field. Once again our team performed superbly. This competition is very much a team event with every individual performance crucial to the team. It was therefore tremendously pleasing to see our children pull together in such a slick and effective manner. Everyone focused brilliantly on their own events but also supported each other 100% from the sidelines and it was this attitude that led to such an amazing overall performance.

 

As the final scores were read out, it was another very proud moment for the school as we collected 4 of the 5 available trophies. A phenomenal team effort and every child in our team should feel very proud!

 

Special moments like these don’t come along very often and our team can rightly celebrate their achievements … while I make yet another trip to the trophy engravers… via an ice lolly shop!

 

WELL DONE everyone, a huge thank you to our fantastic, vocal and supportive parents and family members – I hope you felt as proud of your children as we did!

 

Anyone for 2011?
