KS2 Inter-House Cross-Country

Fri 13 Sep 2019 Mr Lemon

On a warm afternoon, thankfully not too hot for our pupils running, the whole of KS2 took to Challock Lees for the annual cross-country event.

Upper Junior (Y5/6) Boys and Girls

The Y5/6 boys ran first, a course that took them the entire length of the Lees and back again, resulting in a 1200m distance. The Woodpeckers boys dominated the front of the group, eventually finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place, for a perfect (lowest possible) 6 points! They were followed by 3 kingfisher boys, including our first Y5 runner, to reach a cumulative 15 points. The first Goldfinch runner came in in 7th, but was followed by 3 Robins who came third in Upper Junior boys with 27 points, and Goldfinches 4th with 39 points. The Upper Junior Girls was won by three Y6s, but the next 7 were Y5s, a good sign for the future. Goldfinches dominated with 1st, 4th and 9th place runners to gain 14 points, followed by Robins with 20 points, Kingfishers with 23 and Woodpeckers in 4th with 24 points.

Lower Junior (Y3/4) Boys and Girls

The Y3/4 course was slightly shorter at around 1000m. Rather nicely, the first 10 runners in both the boys and girls events were an even split of five Y4 and five Y3 runners, making team selection for the upcoming Godinton House races easier. In the Y3/4 Boys, just like the Y5/6 race, the Woodpeckers dominated, again ended with an amazing 6 points after coming 1st (Y4), 2nd (Y4) and 3rd (Y3 runner). The final result for the Y3/4 boys was (1st) Woodpeckers 6 points, (2nd) Kingfishers 22 points, (3rd) Robins 26 points, (4th) Goldfinches 36 points. The first two in the Y3/4 Girls race were Y4 runners, with the first Y3 runner in 3rd. This was a very close affair, with the top two houses separated by only 1 point! Goldfinches Girls won with 13 points, closely followed by Robins with 14 points, Woodpeckers with 23 points and Kingfishers in 4th with 43 points.

House-coloured certificates will be awarded to the top 3 runners in each of the four races on Monday, and to the 4 winning houses, who will gain additional House Points for the House Competition. Well done to all the runners who put in a fantastic effort!

School Games GOLD Mark Achievement Award 2019/20

Tue 13 Aug 2019 Mr Lemon

We are delighted to announce that we, Challock Primary School, have achieved the School Games GOLD Mark Award for the 2018/19 academic year.

The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in
2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

With a total of young people competing in local inter-school competitions this year, we are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible.

As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.

We look forward to applying once again in 2020!

Junior Highway Code - Road Safety Test

Thu 14 Mar 2019

The charity that organise WOW and the Walking Bus also run a Road Safety Skills package for the children. This helps the children learn all about road safety and build a strong ‘Road Sense’. All children will be taking a road safety skills test and will then be awarded a bronze, silver or gold award.

The test will be computer based & is multiple choice. To do their very best, children will have to be familiar with the Junior Highway Code. You can view this on the KM Walk to School website www.kmwalktoschool.co.uk. The resources are called ‘Tales of the Road’ and ‘Arrive Alive’ and will give the children a really good understanding of using the road as a pedestrian, cyclist or on their scooter.
