Both mornings were fantastic and our pupils showed superb sportsmanship throughout by cheering each other on and supporting team-mates throughout.  There were six activities in total for each year group to take part in which developed a range of PE skills, from skipping, javelin, balancing and throwing.  During the events the pupils performed brilliantly by showing our school values of respect, resilience and co-operation at all times.  Members of staff commented on how much progress was made throughout each event and the great amount of effort made – what an amazing achievement for all our pupils!

Teams within each class were awarded points for the activities they took part in and we will announce the winning team for each class on Monday 21 June in our school assembly.

At lunchtime, we continued the summer theme with class picnics, which were held on the school field.  The Pantry (our school meal provider) gave out a boxed and nutritious school lunch to the pupils having school dinners from a shaded kiosk.  All pupils then sat on their picnic blankets and enjoyed a relaxing lunch in the sun with friends.  It was lovely to see our pupils enjoy their day together in such beautiful weather.
