National Sports Week Monday 29th June – Friday 3rd July 2009

We kicked off Sports Week in style with an opening ceremony in the playground. Each class came up with their own country name, a national flag, and a national dress. The children paraded their flags and banners along to their national anthem.



During the week KS2 pupils got the opportunity to teach their sport to groups of younger children in one-off sports workshops. The children in KS1 enjoyed learning cricket, hockey and tag rugby. We also had inter-year competitions during the week. The Year ones played the Year twos at tunnel rounders. KS2 had the opportunity to meet a real athlete.

The Olympic rower Matt Langridge came to talk to children in assembly and show his silver medal from Bejing. The week ended with a closing ceremony where the children got to watch a slideshow of photographs taken from the week.
