Year 5 and 6 Indoor Athletics festival

On Tuesday 22nd November we welcomed four Primary schools to John Taylor, to take part in an Indoor Athletics festival. This was the first time in a few years that the Primary pupils had participated in the sports hall as a school and against other schools. Forty students from Walton, Needwood, All Saints Rangemore and Thomas Russell Junior schools attended. They participated in obstacle courses, running events and also field events.

The sporting Young Ambassadors who helped had done almost no leadership prior to the festival. In the afternoon, they set up the equipment, ran the various events and understood which events were happening at different times. At the end some of the Young Ambassadors ran a relay race in front of the cheering Primary pupils.

WOW cards were individually written by the John Taylor pupils and handed out at the end of the session, congratulating the Primary pupils for making the event such a success.

All who participated, enjoyed themselves.

But the Young Sporting Ambassadors who helped in many different ways grew in confidence as the event progressed.

Well done to all who helped make the event run so smoothly.
