Key Stage 2: Quad Kids

This half term, thirty-two of our Junior pupils represented Hacton at the Havering Quad Kids competitions held at Hornchurch Stadium. Each team member competed in four events: a sprint, standing jump, vortex throw and long run. They competed against around 40 local schools, scoring points towards a team total. Some experienced children were joined by new team members, and everyone in the team performed brilliantly throughout the two mornings.

First up were Years 5 and 6. There were around 150 children competing in each field (Year 5 girls, Year 5 boys, Year 6 girls and Year 6 boys) and our school achieved many top-20 finishes in the individual events. Well done to our highest individual competitor who was placed 3rd overall. Congratulations also to our Year 6 team who, with a score of 1732 points, finished in 3rd position just 45 points behind winners St. Edwards. Fantastic!

A fortnight later, it was the turn of our Year 3 and 4 pupils. Again, the competitors rotated around the events, finishing with some excellent 400m runs. Congratulations to our children for their impressive performances: many finished in the top-20; our highest placed individual pupil finished 9th in a field of 150; our Year 4 team finished 9th out of 40 schools. Brilliant!

Well done to all involved, you represented Hacton superbly.
