This afternoon, some of Whitemoor's oldest pupils competed in the heats of the annual Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics Championships.

 

This year we were unable to enter the Ellis Guilford family of schools qualifier, so travelled over to Harvey Hadden to face some unfamiliar schools in the first round. Our hope was, as ever, to finish within the top two placings - which would mean we make it through to the semi finals stage. 

 

After a series of gruelling sprinting, jumping and throwing events; Whitemoor discovered that they'd finished with enough points to finish in second place. This was a particularly impressive result given that a number of our original team were missing due to illness. 

 

Well done to all our athletes for their fantastic effort and brilliant attitude today - you did yourselves proud!
