The local cluster Sports Hall Athletics competition this year was even more competitive with the addition of Wharncliffe Side and this made for an exciting evening of sport. The events include individual and relay races alongside field events such as the speed bounce, long jump, target throw and basketball throw. Again, this year, SJS had two teams with the winning team progressing through to the Links Final early December.
Over the last 3 weeks, we have had the opportunity in collaboration with the Sheffield Hatters to have professional athletes into school and lead our Year 5 children in a curriculum enrichment programme.
On a beautiful Saturday morning in Bradfield, the Stocky Cross-Country team were in action for Race 3 of the season.
This new school year, in addition to the Year 6 Sports Leaders, the school have further developed our lunchtime provision to be more active and provide lots of opportunities for children to get out of breath, while developing their physical and social skills.
Our Year 6 boys' football team was in action competing in the ESFA Cup competition against neighbouring schools, Deepcar, Grenoside and Oughtibridge. Sportsmanship was our key focus, playing within the rules with respect to opponents and officials and being gracious in both victory and defeat. Our team played tough but applied all of these qualities in their game play which was pleasing to see.
Race 2 of the cross-country season took place this weekend at Bolehills, which is one of the shortest yet toughest of all the courses.
