Our first competitive event in the school calendar is the House Cross-Country Competition which will take place on Wednesday 1st October for Years 3 and 4, and Thursday 2nd October for Years 5 and 6. For those new to the school, there will be a boys and a girls race for each year group with gold, silver, bronze and copper medals for the first four runners over the line. House points are awarded for each race and Mr Lewis will present the trophy to the winning house during assembly on Friday 3rd October.
For any children wishing to train for this event, the distance is approximately 1.3 km for Y3, 1.9 km for Y4 and 2.4 km for Y5/6. Children may walk part of the course if they choose to but we do encourage all children to take part if they are able, as over the years this event has revealed some incredible hidden talent!
