Last week some of our 5/6 pupils went to a federation cross country event on Tuesday 11th January at Chiddingly School. It had been a wet and drizzly day, but despite the weather conditions, everyone persevered through the mud!
We all started off with a quick warm up session, followed by stretches led by Mr Brett.
The races were split into two groups with the girls running first, followed by the boys.
Each group then ran an outstanding 8 laps around the field which is equivalent to around 2km. We were all so pleased! They definitely deserved a drink of water and a rest after all that running!
Everybody finished the race and team East Hoathly did us all proud. Well done to all the runners that took part. They all showed incredible perseverance, resilience and embracing their growth mindset on facing the challenge.
Following this event 3 pupils qualified for the South Downs area—Samuel, Aaron and Jack.
The final took place on Thursday and all 3 completed the race and did fantastically well against lots of competition.
We are all incredibly proud of you, well done Samuel, Aaron and Jack!
