This week we have enjoyed learning about the Battle of Marathon in Ancient Greece and the unlikely outcome that ensued. The children got to grips with the tactics and strategies used by the Athenians to outwit a Persian invasion. If you can, ask your child why the Athenians won!

On top of this, PE saw the children compete in some athletic try-outs in readiness for four teams to compete in the Interschools Indoor Athletics Championships being held at the Mountbatten Centre in early February.We wish to thank everyone that has taken part in the training thus far, led by Head Conditioning Coach Mr Crozier; many of the children complained about sore legs and spoke of muscles they didn’t know they had!

Rest up to ‘go again’ next week!
