Sports Day 2019

As the day started with drizzle it could only mean one thing - Sports Day!  However the rain only lasted for a short while and by the time KS1 came out to begin their morning it was dry and warm.  The children took part in five events with a rest at some point to recover.   This year the activities were an obstacle race, shuttle run, hit the stumps, bean bag throw and egg and spoon race.  With some super explaining and demonstrating from the Year 6 helpers the children began their competition. Surrounded by positive support from families and friends everyone had a great morning. You could hear cheering and encouragement among the children as they urged their teams on.  Scores were kept updated as went along which meant we were able to announce the results just before lunchtime. This years final results for KS1 sports day were:

1st - Drake
2nd - Wellington
3rd - Scott
4th - Marlborough

After a lovely family picnic, it was time for KS2 Sports Day to commence.  This year saw the introduction of some new events alongside some favourites.  The children were challenged in many skills including target hitting, running, team work and ball control.  Yet again there was a lovely atmosphere of support from each other and families as the classes moved around 8 activities in all to win as many points for their team as they could. Scores were ably kept updated by Mr Taylor which meant through the afternoon the children were aware of how quickly it could all change. Finally,  as the last activity came to its end and everyone gathered round to hear the overall result, which was as follows:

1st - Wellington

2nd - Marlborough

3rd - Scott

4th - Drake

 Many thanks to those who helped out during the day, it really is much appreciated. Overall it was a fabulous day with lots of enjoyment had by all.
