Greenfield introduces ‘Mudder’ challenges for students

December 7th, 2022 Martin Walker Community 0 comments 0

Greenfield Community College’s PE department has introduced a ‘Greeny Mudder’ whereby pupils undertake a series of different challenges in the format of the world-famous Tough Mudder obstacle course.

The ‘Greeny Mudder’ provided an innovative tool to help engage pupils through healthy participation and allowed them to develop motor competence, build social skills and improve health and wellbeing.

The obstacle course included a series of different challenges including cargo nets, water carry, hay bales hurdles, over and under/side to side, quick feet in the tyres, slip and slide, tractor tyre pull and a tunnel crawl.

PE lead Mr Butterworth said: “Our staff are very proud of all our pupils during the ‘Greeny Mudder’ fortnight, their attitude was exceptional throughout and the effort was absolutely fantastic to see.

“I genuinely believe that this will be a lesson that the pupils will remember for years to come and one that they reminisce about long into their adult life.

“Some pupils may decide to go on to undertake the genuine Tough Mudder events hosted across the world and have those great memories of exercising in a slightly different format to the more traditional methods.

“I would like to thank parents, carers and guardians for their support as I can fully appreciate that the amount of time and effort it will have taken to clean some of the clothes, and we acknowledge the tight turn around for some pupils having PE on consecutive days.

“I would also like to thank PE teacher Miss Ellison who led on the planning of this successful event.”
