Year 6 took part in the cross country fitness challenge at St Benedict’s School this afternoon. After a warm-up, everyone tackled two laps of the muddy field, putting into practice what they have learned about pacing themselves in P.E. Impressively, some pupils completed the course in under ten minutes!
We’ll return in the summer term to run the course again and aim to improve our times. I wonder how many more Year 6s will break the ten-minute barrier next time?
In the meantime, there’s plenty of time to build fitness by adopting an active lifestyle, whether that’s playing sports, taking part in weekly Park Runs or simply going for a walk as often as possible.
Well done, Year 6!
