CPSL District Sports

What an amazing day!  42 children came to take part in the District Athletics today.  We were among 20 other schools, so with a long day of heats and finals ahead we found shade under the trees for our base.

This event is fantastically organised and runs seamlessly.  The Year 3/4 children start off the running races while the Year 5/6 compete in throwing and jumping.  Then the events switch round. We gained a few medals along the way for the jumping and throwing events across all year groups. Once all the heats have been run, the finals commenced.  All to play for and the pace seemed to pick up!

The long distance runners wait a long time for their races but it's well worth it, as they competed in the last few rounds of competition. We have some exceptional athletes in our school and these runners performed brilliantly. Last races of the day are the relay finals, where some true battles of spirit took place.

Onto results time.  LKS2 (3/4) came first overall with UKS2 (5/6) finishing in second place overall.
We have never finished with such a strong result across both key stages.  I am immensely proud of the whole team today.  You performed with spirit and great sportsmanship, (lots of handshaking of friends at the finish line); everyone displayed the Kelvedon ethos and supported each other superbly.

Many thanks to the parents who helped with transport and came to support so willingly.  It is much appreciated.

Well done to you all

Mrs Bull
