Speedmark Challenge

On Thursday 9 July, Oakwood Junior pupils and staff took part in the SpeedMark Challenge.

This was a sponsored fun event, supervised by footballer Josh Dutton Black. Everyone took three penalties into an inflatable goal, with an integral radar that records the speed of each shot.

The children's quickest speed was recorded on individual certificates. The fastest boy & girl from every class also received a medal.

The fastest in the school were Sophie at 42mph and Dalton and Matthew at 50mph!

Well done to all those children who raised sponsor money - the school received a massive £574.89 which we will be putting towards a whole school sports event and useful PE equipment.



We enjoyed the day so much we're doing it again!

Our next SpeedMark Challenge is booked for Thursday 10 June 2010!

Who will record the fastest penalty?

Hey Oakwood I'm back! This is just a quick note to say to all the leaving Year 6's that secondary school isn't that bad and of course Oakwood is the best but secondary school is nothing to be afraid of! Speak to you later!
