Sportathon 2018

On Monday 25th June Year 4 took part in the annual Sportathon at Sutcliffe Park.  The day was hot, reaching temperatures of 29ºc.

The children had the opportunity to take part in a range of sports: golf, hockey, ball skills, athletics and dance. They scored points for Our Lady of Grace throughout the day by shooting balls into nets, putting golf balls onto Velcro targets, distances recorded of javelin throws and long jumps. The children tried their best and showed perseverance in the sweltering heat. After lunch the children showed off their dance moves by learning a dance inspired by sports – the children were great and had lots of fun.

The final activity was the wheel chair race. The children showed great team spirit in cheering each other along.  We had no idea how many points we had scored by the end of day – but during the final presentation was awarded with second place. Well done Year 4 your team work payed off!

 

Gaelic Football

The day started with two group games against St Patricks and St Peters. The boys showed great skill and determination in winning both games.

OLOG got to the semi-final as group winners and had to play St Thomas-a-Becket. The game went to a penalty shoot out that we won giving us a fantastic match with St Mary's in the final. Both teams performed at a high standard and ended with a penalty shoot out again. St Mary's won with the last penalty.

OLOG boys once again showed how good they are - well done boys!
