We have a had a very sporty week at the Upper School this week as our annual sports days have been taking place. The children have really risen well to the occasion and their behaviour and attitude has been outstanding.
To begin the day, the children completed a carousel of activities that showcased different sporting skills. These were: A space hopper or three legged race; an egg and spoon race; the javelin throw; bean bag throw, sack race and penalty shoot out.
Once they had then completed these, and after a good break in the shade, we moved on to our races. Well done to all the children who took part in our races. The results were as follows:
