What a day! Miss Lewis organised a day off curriculum for our own Olympics Festival. It started with a whole school run to Paris, the equivalent of 435 miles. For 20 minutes all the children and staff ran around the schools grounds and it was such fun! 500 happy faces walking, jogging, running to Paris with the music motivating us.
Out Festival contained sports stations entirely run by our year 6 cohort of Sports Leaders who were fantastic at explaining, demonstrating and encouraging the children. The younger classes were buddied up with older classes working together which was really lovely to see. The children participated in long jump, high jump, relay hurdles, triple jump, an Olympics quiz, shot put before stopping for an outdoor picnic lunch. In the afternoon the children played badminton, handball, discus, javelin, relay and we finally finished with a showcase song to parents. Phew!! What an action-packed day! Now we are all ready to watch the Olympics starting on 26th July.
