Dear Colleagues
Welcome to the final Update of Term 5, with lots to sign up for in Term 6!
Sadly we have had to cancel tomorrow's (Friday 17th May) PE Networking Meeting, as only two colleagues had confirmed that they wished to attend. This may be due to it being SATs week, or simply that staff are extremely busy at this time of year. Whatever the reason, many apologies if you were planning on attending but had forgotten to let me know!
This friendly, fun event is due to take place at Margate FC on Wednesday 12th June, 3.45-5.15pm and there is no limit on the number of schools that may enter, but only one team per school. Further details are attached and entries should be sent to me, garybcrees@gmail.com. The closing date for entries is midnight on Friday 24th May 2024. Parents are welcome at this event.
The Rapid Fire Cricket competition will be held at St George's Primary School on Wednesday 19th June, 1.00-2.45pm. A maximum of 6 schools can enter and an entry form and a copy of the rules are attached.
Entries will NOT be accepted until 7.30am on Friday 17th May 2024, after which time places will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis. Entries should be sent to me, garybcrees@gmail.com , with the closing date for entries being midnight on Friday 24th May 2024. Parents are not able to attend this event.
Also attached are the entry forms for both the Y3/4 and Y5/6 Mini-Tennis tournaments which this year are due to take place at Margate Tennis Club on Friday 14th June and Friday 21st June respectively. There is a limit of 8 teams for each event and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis from 7.30am on Friday 17th May 2024. Entries should be sent to Stephanie Selsby (NOT ME!), sgo@ursuline.kent.sch.uk . Parents are welcome at this event.
Please see the following information from Callum Noble at Upton regarding the Y3-6 'Waterloo Trophy' Cross Country event on Saturday 15th June 2024 and the Y1-6 Cross Country event on Saturday 22nd June 2024. Please make sure your entries go to Callum (NOT ME!), callum.noble@uptonjunior.com .
Dear Colleagues
I'd like to invite you all to two annual cross-country related events we run here at Upton every year:
Firstly the Waterloo Team Relay on Saturday 15th June:
Originally invented at the request of the mayor, this event commemorates the battle of Waterloo. A team of three runners (same sex) each run approx 800m around the course before passing their baton to the next runner. There are 4 races and they are in the mixed year groups below so that smaller schools also have the chance to get teams together :
Year 3/4 Boys (10.00AM)
Year 3/4 Girls (10.30AM)
Year 5/6 Boys (11.00AM)
Year 5/6 Girls (11.30AM)
Schools can, and often do, enter multiple teams to make it worth your while. There is a £2 entry fee per child and that pays for a nice medal for each child, regardless of where their team finishes. The relay nature of the event makes it unique, with runners being part of a team rather than simply competing as individuals. This also means that it’s a much more open competition with many differing schools making the podium or top ten
Secondly the Upton Cross-Country on Saturday 22nd June
Last year we had over 600 runners taking part. It's a similar event to the Quex runs except that all races are 1km -I find the extra 500m often puts the older ones off. There are still 8 main races (y3 boys, yr 3 girls, yr 4 boys etc) and we have a 'fun' Y2 and under race at the start which is very popular also. Entry is only £2 per child and again this pays for their medal.
For each event I need to know the number of runners you are bringing by 26th May (day before the holiday) so I can order the medals. Once I have that number, you are committed to paying for that number of entries and we simply invoice your school.
Kindest regards
Callum
Best Wishes
