We recently attended a new competition called ‘Girls Primary Fitness Games’ which brought together 7 local primary schools for an exciting and energetic afternoon focused on fitness, stamina and teamwork. We attended with 10 girls, divided into two year group teams.
The event was structured around three 16-minute workouts, with each workout combining a variety of exercises to complete. The exercises involved strength-based activities such as burpees, hand-release press-ups & air squats, as well as cardiovascular based activities such as shuttles, hurdle jumps and skipping. Within each 16 minute workout, the teams of 5 had to ensure they all participated at some point, strategically working out when to tag their team mate in to continue. The workouts encouraged the children to challenge themselves physically and mentally, whilst supporting their teammates and creating a positive and motivating environment.
After adding the scores together from both the Year 5&6 teams, we are proud to report that our team achieved a Bronze Medal overall. The team has successfully progressed to the finals, where they will have the opportunity to compete at the Finals of this competition.
Well done Girls!
Mr Smith & Miss Lomax
