There were absolute scenes (as the sporting cliché goes) here at Fressingfield Primary School on 7th July as the children competed for their teams in our Sports Day.
The children competed in their houses: Apus (red), Aquila (Green), Columba (yellow) and Cygnus (blue) for the honour of being crowned Sports Day Champions.
A range of track and field events took place through the afternoon, with points being available for all competitors in all competitions. But it was the track events that were most hotly anticipated and which drew the greatest crowds.
Each year group took part in shorter distance sprints, a longer distance race around the whole field, a team relay and, of course, an obstacle race.
Congratulations are given to all the children for competing with a sense of purpose and enjoyment and also for being so encouraging of each other. Well done all.
At the end of the afternoon, once all the points had been counted by Mrs Drax, the colours on the winning trophy were Aquila’s. Well done Green Team.
