This morning, our 'oldest' sportsmen and sportswomen made the relatively short journey up to Ellis Guilford, to compete in the heats of the annual Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics tournament.

 

In recent times, this event (and its Y3/4 equivalent) has brought about some very mixed results for Whitemoor. The aim for this year was to make it all the way to the finals - but would things work out this way...

 

After taking part in a series of relay races and field events such as: speed bounce, standing long jump, indoor javelin and standing triple jump; we discovered that we'd score enough points to finish in 2nd place! 

 

With the top 2 or 3 teams from each of the heats qualifying for the semi-finals (held in late November), Whitemoor knew they'd completed the first step of their mission. A massive congratulations to all involved.  

 

Our Y5/6 Sportshall Athletics team consisted of: Natijah L, Kyan N, Shalom-Chris O, Travae R, Alessandro C, Sam W, Tyrai W, Tyler C, Cruz S, Arnav N, Malakai W, Mariah-Lace A, Jaylah C, Christine S, Aliny T, Vina R, Megan H, Inez W, Glennisha B, Kuleni S and Ticianny M.
