Sports Day July 2019

Sports day was a great success!

The children really enjoyed taking part in an egg and spoon race, a 100 meter sprint, a throwing event, and a skipping race. Each class had a Gold, Silver and Bronze medal winner, who received their award in our special sports day assembly. Scores were added up from all the events and the one with the most points scored secured the Gold medal followed by the Silver and Bronze. We also had a special award for a great demonstration of sportsmanship from each class. 

Lunchtime Sports

At break and lunchtimes, children are timetabled to a game zone. Children have the opportunity to take part in different games, including netball, rounders, basketball, tennis, and non specific games to help them have an active lunchtime. Children play football in our 5 a side MUGA which is enjoyed by different classes on different days.
