Sportshall Athletics Competition – 29th January 2016
St John’s secured two victories in one day, when they attended the first round of the annual Sportshall Athletics Competition.
In the morning we took a team of year 4 children to Debden Park High School, where they took part in a wide range of activities; obstacle relay, over and under relay, straight running relays and field events, including long jump, triple jump, speed bounce and chest push. All children performed brilliantly winning many events to gain points for the team. In the end only one point separated the 1st and 2nd places, but that was enough to secure the victory for St John’s.

In the afternoon it was a chance for the older children to regain their title for a ninth consecutive year, and they didn’t disappoint. Ably led by team captains Amy Chinweze and Micah Newton, they powered their way through, securing victories in all of their races; showing fantastic footwork skill through the high steppers and speed-bounces, and super agility when flying over hurdles and using the reverser boards. This team now progress to the next round to be held on Friday 26th Frbruary, at Roding Valley High School.
