Year 3/4 Sportshall Athletics - District
Earlier this week, a team of Year 3 and Year 4 children represented the school at the district Sportshall athletics competition. This competition is a Woodland View favourite and we have seen some great success at this event in previous years.
Sportshall athletics includes many different events: sprinting, jumping, throwing and working as a team. Throughout the competition, children compete in track and field events to help score points for their team.
It was a pleasure for Mr Willars, Mr Oelrich and Mr Baxter to attend this event with the children as they showed amazing cooperation, respect and determination during all the events. They are extremely proud of the children too for cheering each other on loudly and enthusiastically during the track events!
After completing all of their events, it was time for the children to find out how they had performed overall. In a field of ten strong schools, Woodland View came first overall!! They scored a staggering 410 points across all the events!
We are incredibly proud of the team! Because the team finished in first place, this gives them a great chance to represent the district at the county finals at the end of February. We are still waiting to hear whether we have reached this round as there was another competition in the afternoon.
We keep our fingers crossed for progression to the next round, but applaud our Y3/4 team for their amazing success so far!
