With the opening line ‘ We want you to make as much as noise as you can today’ The children, staff and parents did not disappoint.
On Thursday 14th March we welcomed Adam from Sportshall Athletic to the UEA Sportspark to deliver our Year 3 & 4 and Year 5 & 6 Sportshall Athletic Competition. With 400 children attending the day – it was a fun, fast paced, noisy event.
Schools were invited to bring teams of 10 boys and 10 girls from each year group to take part in lots of different indoor track and field events. Each pupil took part in 3 activities. Field activities included – vertical jump, chest push, soft javelin, speed bounce and many more. Track events included – Obstacle relay, hurdles and over/under relay.
Thank you to all the schools that attended….
- Tuckswood Academy
- Charles Darwin Primary
- Cringleford Primary
- Valley Primary Academy
- Lakenham Primary
- St Michaels Junior
- Little Melton Primary
- West Earlham Junior

As with any event we need great sports leaders and Hethersett Academy provided these in abundance. Adam briefed the 16 leaders on arrival and they were left to lead each activity. Recording every score to find out where each school placed.
