Cross Country
We have been invited to participate in the Telford and Wrekin Cross country event held at Chetwynd Deer park on Tuesday 10th October 2023.
This is an amazing event where schools from across the county come together to participate in a large running event.
Last year we took a fantastic team and we hope to replicate this again. The event is open to all who wish to join us however, it is not for everyone, the race is a long 1.6 km for years 5/6 and 1.1 km for years 3 and 4.
If you are interested in this event you are invited to join Mr Lawson for an experience session on Tuesday 26th at 12.30 during lunchtime. Here you will get a taste of a long run and be given important information. Letters will also be available including consent forms which will need to be returned by Friday 29th. Please ensure you have your trainers for this lunchtime session. You are welcome to get changed into PE kit if you wish. As this event is a rain or shine event, we will continue if it is raining so coats may be advisable.
Further information will be available on the letter collected from the ‘taster session’.
All the best,
Mr L
5J have enjoyed learning about Vector Drawing in ICT today!
