Congratulations to the twenty children from
Years 5 and 6 of Martham Primary School who represented the East Norfolk
Schools Sports Partnership at the County Sportshall Athletics Finals. The event
was held at the UEA on Friday 6th March as part of the Norfolk Schools Winter
Games.
The children have been working hard since September to develop their
skills in a variety of field and running events. In order to be chosen to
represent the Partnership, they had to compete, earlier in the year, against
other local schools in two competitions. On both occasions, they had to
demonstrate determination and skill to overcome strong opposition.
In the County Final, they faced teams from the other seven Partnerships
and again the competition was fierce. Their strengths, however, in the field
events and most notably in soft javelin, speed bounce and chest push, were
rewarded with maximum points.
When the scores from all events were totalled up, Martham Primary had
achieved 268 points which meant that they were the overall winners and County
Champions. Mrs King and Mr Wilson are very proud of their achievement.
