On Wednesday 18th December 2013, Key Stage 1 took part in the first organised KS 1 Cross Country Event in Essex. Inspired by the success of the children in the Key Stage 2 Cross Country, the children had been practising hard and were all very enthusiastic.
The Sports Leaders from NFGS helped to run the event along with their teacher, Lisa Dunlop and Mr. Dyce. There was also a surprise visit from Mrs Coleman, head of PE SWCH.
The Reception children were helped by the Sports Crew and the Year 6, who helped to run alongside their Buddies. The Year 5 children cheered loudly as they counted how many times the children ran around the field.
Certificates were awarded to the 3 fastest boys and girls in each year and certificates awarded to the 3 fastest children per class. A special award was given to Jayden Jones, for making great improvement and running very fast during the competition. Well done!
Two Cross Country League Events have been organised for this term, both being at the Friends School on 11th February and 23rd March at 4pm. All children from Key Stage 2 are invited to participate.
