KS2 CROSS COUNTRY COMPETITION
On 31st March 2023 we held our KS2 Cross Country Competition. This was a Compete themed event and was for pupils who enjoy competition. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Honesty. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Honesty School Games Value.
We had the following 22 schools/24 teams attend our event:
- Astley
- Cawston
- Corpusty
- Costessey Primary
- Dereham Jnr
- Drayton Jnr
- Firside
- Foulsham
- Gt Witchingham
- Hockering
- Litcham
- North Elmham
- Queen's Hill
- Reepham
- Scarning
- Stibbard
- St Mary's
- Swanton Morley
- Taverham Jnr x3
- Thomas Bullock
- Toftwood Jnr
- Yaxham
Taverham High School sports leaders helped run the competition, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see 535 children involved in running and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their running skills further by putting on clubs and encouraging the pupils to join a local community club to promote/grow cross country running wider in Norfolk.
