Burnside Year 5 pupils demonstrated their agility, endurance, and sportsmanship in an exciting Skipping Competition held with other local schools last week.

 

With ropes whirling and feet moving in perfect rhythm, the competition featured various categories, including speed skipping, double-dutch, and freestyle routines. The energy in the room was electrifying as participants pushed their limits, cheered on by their peers and teachers.

 

Burnside’s Year 5 students delivered an outstanding performance in the long rope competitive events, securing both first and second place in all three challenges:

• Run Jump Out – 1st place for 5K, 2nd place for 5H

• Infinity Game – 1st place for 5K, 2nd place for 5H

• A-B Game – 1st place for 5H, 2nd place for 5K

 

Additionally, 5H earned a special trophy for being the most improved class in the 'Skipping for 30 Seconds' challenge, showcasing their determination and rapid progress.

The event was a resounding success, highlighting the dedication and talent of the students.

We are proud of all the participants and we look forward to even more exciting sporting events in the future!
