Copthall Athletics Competition
After weeks of training, all the children gave their very best at the Barnet Schools athletics event, showing brilliant effort, determination and team spirit. A special mention goes to Dino, who achieved 3rd place in the boys’ long jump, and to Ollie, who finished 4th in the Year 3 boys’ sprint. The biggest celebration of the day was for Jeneba, who won the Year 3 girls’ sprint with an outstanding performance. No matter where they finished, every child was able to enjoy the event, feel proud of their achievements, and celebrate the success of their friends. We were also very proud of the behaviour shown by our children compared to that of several other schools. A big thank you to Mr Bourne, Miss Yiannaki and Mr Carini and Mr Reid.
Rugby Tournament
Team Holly Park (made up from members of our rugby club) were brilliant at the All Valley Tag Rugby Tournament. The team played so well and although the trophy was just out of their grasp they showcased their skills and cohesion as a team and should be very proud of themselves.
Cross Country
Holly Park took part in a very wet and muddy Barnet Cross Country event. Despite the atrocious conditions all of the children showed remarkable resilience to complete the swamp like course, some even losing a shoe in the mud, on the way round!
Well done to all of the children for their amazing efforts but a special well done to Demi who came 4th, Jevell who came 3rd and Bronagh who stormed to a fantastic 1st place. Thank you to Mr Bourne and Mr Carini for supporting the children with this event.
