Athletics Competition
All the children took part in an athletics competition this term. They had to perform a standing long jump, a javelin throw and a sprint.
They then worked on their technique to improve their score.
The most improved and the highest achievers from each year group were awarded a prestigious Swinemoor Winners’ Tee-Shirt.
