On Wednesday 10th February seven teams of year 3 and 4 students from the Brockhill Park family of primary schools took part in a challenging Sportshall Athletics Festival in attempt to extend opportunities for all students who couldn't participate in the recent league event. Teams from St. Augustines, Saltwood and Palmarsh tested their balance, co-ordination, power and agility through taking part in a circuit of testing stations.
The events included a balance test, the 100m shuttle run, the standing long jump, speed bounce, 400m high stepper, the target throw and the vertical jump. Teams of ten students exerted 100% effort into all of the stations and achieved remarkable results which are displayed below.
Congratulations to Luca, Thomas & Jodie from St. Augustines 1 team who achieved the top three overall individual scores from all events. A huge thank you must go to the teachers for scoring the events and encouraging their teams brilliantly. The severe weather warning and ever falling snow didn't impact on their spirits! Thank you to all who made this event possible. I look forward to presenting the following awards in forthcoming assemblies:
