Year 3 and 4 sports day shotput

Lesson: Physical education

Class: Year 4C Mrs Clayton Year: 2014 - 2015

You need not look any further for strong battle ready athletes. 

Did you know Scottish Highland Games historians believe the shot put originated from the ancient Celtic tradition of "putting the stone" which, according to Scottish folklore, was used by Clan chieftains to help them identify their strongest men for battle purposes. The earliest documented evidence of the tradition can be found in an Irish book titled the "Book of Leinster," which was written in the 12th century and describes the events of the Tailteann Games held in County Meath. One of the events included is stone throwing, but how much further back in history the tradition stretches remains unproven.
