Athletics Sport Update - Sprints

On Friday the 26th October, the Oaklands Athletic Sprints took place on the field after lunch. Year 4 - 8 students took part in the sprinting. The sprints were 50m to 100m in length, depending on the age of the student. The Athletics took place on Tuesday the 23rd October and it was really fun but because of bad
weather after lunchtime, the sprints were postponed until Friday.

Bailey, Thornton, Michaela, Callum, William, Rachel and Matthew all did really well in the sprints.
50 of our students are going to the South West Zone Sports on the 6th November.

Look out for news about that.

Athletics at Oaklands School

In recent weeks we have been practising for our School Athletics which will be held on Tuesday 23 October. (PP date Friday 26 October) We have practised high jump, sprints, discus, shot put and long jump. It is really great to have a new high jump mat which means we can easily run two high jumps at once. We have been learning how to do the scissor jump correctly. You have to jump with one leg before the other, make sure your legs go over the bar before your shoulder and that your run up has good speed. We hope the weather will be kind to us.
