Sports Day 2018

10th July 2018 dawned for this years Sports Day, a little cooler than previous days which was a huge advantage.  With a great amount of team effort the field quickly became a sports arena for KS1 to start the day off.  The children were excited to get going and there was tremendous support from parents who took up viewing places in the middle of the field. A fantastic morning continued with the children taking part in obstacle races, shuttle relays, bean bag throwing, javelin throwing and hitting the stumps.  Competing for their houses, the children worked really hard to win as many points as possible.
At 12.30pm just as the activities ended, KS2 came out to join KS1 and parents for a family picnic on the junior field.  As luck would have it, today also coincided with the 100 year celebration of the RAF fly past conveniently timed to fly over at lunch.  This was an amazing sight for any of us to see and with the earlier cloud cleared we had a great view.
At 1.30pm, with the field transformed for the older children, there began an afternoon of activity. With ten events for each class to compete in there was plenty of opportunity for everyone to participate. Jumping, throwing, hockey, netball, football, relays, sack racing and more entertained us all for the duration of the afternoon.
Finally, just in time for the last bell of the day every event was complete.  A quick check of the scores with Mr Taylor and it was confirmed that Scott were the KS2 winners of sports day.  Coincidentally KS1 winners were also Scott.  Big well done to them.

Many thanks to all the staff and family members that helped set up, run the activities, score and generally see that the children were all cared for and had a great time.
