This was held at Swimgate Primary school and was the best yet! The school encouraged all the children with an energetic warm up and dancing to music by their PE Department. The race started with Connie our only Yr 5 girl. She ran a brilliant race finishing in 4^th place. This was followed by the Year 5 boys. The race was quite flat this year approximately 1.6 km.  Freddie led the way for the boys finishing in 9^th place followed by Toby 10^th.  Joel was next to finish for Bredhurst in 25^th place followed by Tate 29^th, Frankie 47^th and Zac in 49^th place. This was the biggest group of runners with 57 taking part. Year 6 girls were up next with Mia finishing in 9^th place, just ahead of Lily Rose in 10^th. Alannah finished in 38^th and Samantha in 39^th . The Year 6 boys were next, another large group of 54 runners. Kairo sprinted the whole course finishing 15 seconds in front of the next runner. Jamie finished in 36^th place, Jack 45^th followed by Lennie in 47^th place.

Swingate presented all the runners with a medal, which was an amazing thing to do to encourage and celebrate their achievement in finishing the race.

 Yesterday our Table Tennis Team entered the MYG Tournament with another 35 schools at Medway Park. The standard of table tennis amazed our players - Morgan, Lily Rose, Felicity, Marcell, Toby and Kairo.

Every child played to their best ability playing 3 sets to each match. During the Tournament every child won at least two complete matches, unfortunately we lost more than we won, which caused some disappointment and frustration to a couple of team members. We must remember that sportsmanship is very important, without that and respect for others a team cannot build strength and the ‘spirit of Bredhurst’ is lost.

Last Friday 30.1.26 Our Netball Team went to South Borough Primary School for their first Netball Match in the Community League. Our team looked worried when they saw the opposition as they looked very tall and skilful. The match started and all the teams worries dropped as they played their own game of quick movement around the court. feeding the ball to our goal scorers. Unfortunately, the nets were a lot higher that the ones we have at school and proved a problem reaching them. The team persevered and after many shots they started to go in. the end result was South Borough 3 Bredhurst 5 - Brilliant result well done to the team -  Mia, Millie, Morgan, Arabella, Erin, Kairo, Freddie, Marcell and Lennie.
