What a fantastic day we had yesterday at Corby Stadium for the RLT KS1 athletics festival! The weather was kind to us, and the sun shone down as we arrived at the athletics track. 

During the morning, the boys took part in their field events: the tennis ball throw, target beanbag throwing, and standing jump. The girls, meanwhile, were taking part in their track events. In the afternoon, events were reversed.

All of the children tried their hardest in all the events they took part in, and should be proud of how they got on. One or two people even won their heats and made it to the finals! The level of sportsmanship was fantastic, with all of the children not only encouraging each other, but also cheering for people from other schools. A particular congratulations to Evie for coming second overall in the year 2 girls bean bag throw, Bibi for coming first in the year 1 girls tennis ball throw, Howie for coming third in the year 2 boys tennis ball throw and Pippa for coming third in the year 2 girls 40m sprint.

A huge thank you to all the children for a fantastic day, and to the staff who accompanied us for all their hard work.

There are a few pictures below - but we were so busy, it was hard to get many!
