My thanks to Nikki Beament for the following report and to Jo Lane for the photos

On Wednesday 18^th June pupils from years 3 to 5 took part in a Mini Gymkhana.  The event consisted of 5 races where the first 4 races were timed.  The fastest four in each race overall were placed and awarded rosettes for their efforts and “special” rosettes were awarded to those who weren’t placed overall but took part.  This year Sandroyd also introduced the “Black Pony” award for skill and enthusiasm.  A big ‘well done’ to all 20 pupils who took part and congratulations to the following:
