Year 5-8 Athletics - Distance races are being held tomorrow (Wednesday 1st November)

Kia ora Whanau,

As you will be aware, tomorrow afternoon we will be holding the 1000m and 1200m distance races for year 5-8 students. This is an optional event. Your child will have already expressed their interest in competing in these events.

If your child is involved, please ensure that tomorrow they bring to school tomorrow the following:

• Comfortable P.E / athletics gear or their house t-shirts if they have one
• Comfortable running shoes or sneakers (the children may run in bare feet or wear socks that are taped to their feet)
• Sunhat
• Waterbottle
• Sunscreen - It would be a good idea to apply sunscreen before school and we will have sunscreen available to apply throughout the day
• Warm jacket or jersey (school jacket is great)

We will begin running at 1:15pm with the year 13 students.

Warm regards,

Gayle McNaughton and the Pohutukawa team.
