On Monday 14th February, St Mary’s took part in a cross-country competition for all year groups, at Down Grange. There were 8 other schools competing. With our children in high spirits, Mr Rundle put them through their paces with a wonderfully orchestrated warm up. First up were our year 3 & 4 girls followed by our year 3 & 4 boys who both had to run 1,000m. They all did amazingly well and showed great determination to run round the track in rather muddy conditions. Next came our year 5 & 6 girls, followed by our year 5 & 6 boys, who between them showed great passion and resilience to run the whole 1500m. At the end everyone was extremely tired, but had given it their all and represented St Mary’s amazingly. Three of our children have now qualified to represent Basingstoke in the country Finals in March. Thanks once again for all the parents who made this possible.e enter some content for your news story here.
