Sporting Events

This week our Sports Ambassadors did a fantastic job organising our whole-school Festive Fun Run. Children arrived with festive accessories and took part at their own pace, making the event both inclusive and fun. Pupils completed laps of the course and joined in a series of additional exercises and activity stations designed and led by the ambassadors. Well done to all participants and a big thank-you to our Sports Ambassadors for making the event such a success!

The children really enjoyed playing a lively game of tag-rugby this week! Through this activity, they are developing a range of important skills. Physically, they’re improving their coordination, agility, and reaction times. Socially, they’re learning teamwork, communication, and good sportsmanship. Cognitively, they’re building focus, quick thinking, and strategic decision-making. It’s wonderful to see everyone having fun while learning and staying active!
