Park Run Saturday 28th January 2012
20th January 2012
Dear Parents,
I would very much like to arrange another group run at the Park Run (Milton Country Park) on Saturday (28th January). I send this invitation to you as your child has either regularly attended the Running Club that I hold on a Tuesday lunchtime, performed well in the school's cross country or indeed represented the school at a cross country event.
The Park Run is open to all, I very much hope to encourage you and your child to come along and join in – it's a fantastic way to start the weekend. The course is 5km long and set in the delightful surroundings of Milton Country Park. Runners under the age of fourteen must be accompanied by an adult. I appreciate that an early morning run is not everyone's cup of tea and I therefore intend to hold a group run at least once a month – where I will run with the children. For those of you that do have a pair of neglected trainers staring out at you from the bottom of the cupboard, please do come along and join in.
The Milton Country Park – Park Run, starts at 9:00 am prompt every Saturday morning. For those that would like a little further information, or indeed to register their child and hopefully themselves (registering gives you chance to access a record of your runs, times, position, progress etc). Please follow the link below and then those for 'new runner'. .

If you wish to join me on Saturday 28th January, we will meet at the park's Information Centre – next to the car park – at 8:50 am. The run should take about 30 minutes, there is coffee available for those that have lost their trainers forever. Those of you with canine friends are also welcome to join in the fun.
If you would be so kind as to let me know by way of reply to this email should you wish to attend.
Yours in trainers,
Mr N Carrington

ISA REGIONAL ATHLETICS
Once again Sancton Wood pupils had a great sporting day out. We took 14 pupils to Southend On Sea for athletics. The children as always were a credit to the school for the amount of effort they showed and their fantastic behavior. The athletics captain was Arianne Landini and she led the way with a good performance in the 150m sprint. Our other best results were Emily Yull 5th out of 13 for shot put, Lilli Bagnall 6th out of 11 for high jump, Robin Norrish 6 out of 11 for Shot put and Olivia Hudson 7th out of 15 in the 600m. Well done to all the athletes who took part in what was a very long day.
YEARS 9 AND 10 FOOTBALL V THE CENTRE SCHOOL
On Wednesday 8th June the boys played football against the Centre School. The boys played as a positive unit and although quiet, won the match 6 – 3. James Yim was solid in defence and as captain led the team very well. Noah Petrovic was ‘Man of the Match’ and worked hard in midfield. Ben Hartley Matthew was outstanding in goals.
The boys were a credit to the school.
