I would just like to say a big thank you to Navya and Priyanshi, our two reporters. Without them the school website would not have been updated as often as it has.

                          Saffron Lane 

On the 3rd of June 2025, an athletics competition took place at Saffron Lane. Throughout the day, children took part in sporting activities. There were both track and field events: Long jump and throwing were the field and for the track were 50m, 75m and 600m. For the final event including children from the competing schools was a relay of 400m. The majority of the primary school competed with Years 4, 5 and 6. The level of difficulty in each event was hard to overcome but they still persevered with a great deal off effort.  Soon the day was coming to an end and the finalists were to be announced and their races were coming near to time. These moments were especially tense, not only for the competitors but for the audience aswell. Despite this, there were some moments where laughter was brought to the spectators in CJS after their reporter became too eager in recording and casually held someones face back. The athletes had an opportunity to comment on their performance in both track and field events. Below are some of them listed with the events that they had commented on.

 

Quotes from athletes in CJS:

Saint Pauls Dance Competition

1.4.25

 

Before the dance performance, getting ready for the children was quite a rush, but in the end they had managed. Energetically, CJS and the rest of the competition had made their way onto the stage for a quick warmup to wake up the adrenaline. Though it was stressful and quite rushed, they quickly practised behind shutters to finalise their performance and dance to the best of their ability.

Naturally, there was a mixture of feeling between anxious and excited for them. Now, was their time to perform and to dance their choreography to perfection!

 

During the dance performance, CJS performed enthusiastically with high hopes torwards the end. It was a short performance yet they danced with great energy and thrived to succeed, working their hardest throughout.

 

Quotes:

Mr Duffin: They did awesome, it was definitely the best performance they have ever done, I am so proud of them.

Rhea: I think we did great, I feel relieved now.

 

Results:

The results would be announced any minute now: this would determine how hard they have worked towards this performance. They had come back victoriously with the winning trophy.
