Year Ones have been trying to run one K and some of them can do this quite fast!
Year 3s should be training now and trying to improve their speed, ready for the Inter-school Cross-country event. Years 4 and 5 will be running one and a half kilometres and Year 6s do two K.
Children are learning about how to safely push themselves and pay attention to the body’s signals. They must remember to bring their water bottle to PE and training sessions.
