Mini Olympics Athletics Festival - June 2006 |
|
|
| Just three hundredths of a point separated the
top two teams at Comberton Village College's Mini-Olympics Athletics
Festival on 30 June. After averaging the team scores after nine
events, the Year 6 pupils in the Dark Blue T-shirts pipped the
Dark Green team by the narrowest of margins. It made for an
exciting end to the college's fifth - and largest - day-long
festival for pupils who will be starting at Comberton in September
2006. |
| A record 270 ten and eleven year-olds were divided
into 10 teams with pupils handed a team T-shirt to keep. They
then competed as teams in three runs (50m, 200m and sprint hurdles),
three jumps (long jump, high jump and standing jump) and three
throws (shot, javelin, quoit) to earn points. |
| The majority of youngsters came from Comberton's
nine feeder primary schools, but youngsters from 15 other primary
schools across the county and beyond also attended, giving them
an important opportunity to make friends on their first full
day at the college. |
| This year the festival was much more of a partnership
with the community thanks to Lynne Phillips, the general manager
of Comberton Leisure, the sports centre attached to the college.
She arranged for suppliers Nestle and DBC Foodservice to sponsor
the event as well as donating £600 from a successful Motown
Soul Evening. |
