Record Breakers Athletics Take Two sees many Primary School Records Take a Tumble
During the first week back after Songkran we took the opportunity to run our previously cancelled Primary Record Breakers Athletic event. Record Breakers is about giving those students who enjoy their athletics the opportunity to record times and distances over a range of running, jumping, and throwing events. The 50+ children from Year4, 5 and 6 who participated will now have a set of personal best results as a marker to try and beat in the future. There are also those Primary School Records some of which have stood since 2001 to try and break as a great incentive to give that extra drop of effort.
On the Wednesday afternoon, we completed the track events and on Thursday the age groups rotated around the field events of high jump, long jump, three springs jump, Tee Ball Throw, Basketball chest push, and quoit throw. Well done to all those who took part and congratulations to everyone who beat or created a new personal best. The following children are all new Record Holders although in some events several children broke the existing target.

To see 18 Schools Records Broken over the two afternoons was very rewarding after the disappointment of the original events cancellation. A huge thank you to all of the staff and parents who helped out as timekeepers or event marshals as without your help events such as these would not be possible.
For those who think that they can run faster, jump higher/further, or throw further remember to sign up for next year event in Term 2.
There is currently an athletic conditioning session on Tuesday and Thursday morning from 7am to 7.30am which is open to anyone from Year 4 to 6 on the Primary Back Field. Please just turn up in your kit if interested in joining in.
Mr. Andrew Tatam
Head of Primary Physical Education
