This thrilling event is specifically designed for Year 5 and 6 students, offering them a unique opportunity to showcase their skills in the Track and Field events. Unlike traditional sports-hall athletics, participants will engage in a range of activities including running, jumping, and throwing.
Each child will have the chance to participate in two runs, two throws, and two jumps, with their scores and times recorded and compared against other schools. The scoring system ensures a fair playing field, with points awarded based on the ranking of each participant. The highest score will receive the maximum number of points, while the lowest score will earn one point. Only the best score from each school will be taken into account.
To promote fairness, the scores will be divided by gender and age groups. The teams will consist of four Year 5 girls, four Year 6 girls, four Year 5 boys, and four Year 6 boys, making a total of 16 pupils. Various relay races will be held, including boys, girls, and mixed relays, adding an element of teamwork and camaraderie to the event.
Participants will have the opportunity to showcase their skills in various field activities such as standing long jump, speed bounce, vertical jump, target throw, shot put, and javelin. Each child will have three attempts to showcase their abilities in these activities.
