On the 27th June, Year 3 and 4 had an amazing day competeing in the annual David Leaper Athltics Cup event. This allowed the children to showcase their athletic abilities in field and track events. The different classes across the two year groups battled it out, scoring points as a team to see which class would be the champion for the year and take the trophy.
The morning consisted of all the children taking part in two field events each which allowed them to apply the skills they had been working on across their athletics unit in PE. All the children did an amazing job when competing in the long jump, triple jump, megahowler throw, chest push, speed bounce, beanbag throw and five step. Watching the children strive for success and seeing their sporting abilities shine was a very proud moment for all to see.
During the afternoon session we focused on the track events allowing the classes on to the field to watch, cheer and encourage their class mates in all events. The children were excited and ready to race to score as many points as they could for their class. All children displayed amazing sportsmanship and teamwork throughout the afternoon in all 6 events, 60m sprint, space hopper race, beanbag race, egg and spoon race, 300m race and finally the relay race.
As the day came to an end the scores were determined and the classes waited ready for the final results of the day, clapping and cheering all participates, finishing with a drum roll to announce the winners of the David Leaper Cup 2024.
A beg well done to South Africa who had consistent results and great determination to achieve in all events. Well done to all classes for their brilliant effort and hard work throughout the day.
