This afternoon, 10 children from Y56 represented CPPS in Hull Active Schools Cross Country  Championships. These children were selected to represent the school due to their finishing times at the intra-house race at school last week.

The conditions this year were the worst I have ever seen it! The rain held back a little for the boys race, but he wind was still howling throughout. The girls race was another level – a huge rain storm descended which soon became hail and sleet. Some girls gave up half way round due to the conditions. However, all of our girls dug deep and reached the finish.

We will have to await the results for the team events but on the day, Y5’s Jack S finished third place and came away with a bronze medal.

Well done to all children – you did amazing in challenging conditions!

Sheltering before the races started!
