Twelve year 6 children went to compete in the RCT Sports Hall Athletics competition held at Rhondda Fach Sports Centre today. Seven teams were entered from schools in the area, Gelli, Pontyclun, Tylorstown, Caradog, Cwmbach, Hafod and Maerdy. The girls and boys teams ran, threw and jumped well and won all their races. At the end when the results were announced they were the winners. They were very pleased to have beaten Pontyclun as Mr. Roberts our previous head teacher is now head teacher there. We sang a song for him just before he left and the chorus is very apt for this occasion – Pontyclun will never be as good as Gelli!!!!! The team will have to wait until they know whether they will be overall champions – the second heat was due to take place this afternoon. More news will follow. On another pleasant note the children sang “Happy birthday” to Mr. Gardner, deputy head teacher at Tylorstown who was celebrating his 40th birthday today.
Here is a video of the children’s accomplishments today.
