Run With the Kenyans
During the Spring term there was a running club at Cauldwell. The children were attempting to run a marathon by adding together all the miles they ran at the club and outside school over the term. The children worked really hard and had to run 4 laps of the field to run 1 mile! Each week we noted how many miles they had run during the week and at the club. All the children did really well and their success was celebrated in award assembly. The top 8 runners were chosen to attend the Run with the Kenyans event at Bedford Park on Monday 23rd April. We arrived at the park in the afternoon and registered with the event organisers. We then went off to play rounders while we waited for our turn to run. After rounders we went back to our meeting point and prepared for our run. We had to run 1 lap of the park which was 1.17miles. As we waited for the starter's signal it began to rain, but unperturbed off we went! It seemed a very long way round, but all the children made it to the finish as did Miss Lewis and Mrs Mills!!! We were then presented with medals by members of the Bedford Blues. Proudly we returned to school, tired and wet, but very pleased with our efforts. A great afternoon.
