YR2-3 SPEED STACKING FESTIVAL
On 22nd February 2023 we held our Yr2-3 Speed Stacking Festival at UEA Sportspark. This was an Engage themed event and was for pupils who enjoy friendly competition but don't want to solely focus on winning and losing, instead they focus on supporting pupils wider development of their physical, personal, emotional and social health. All Pupils received a participant certificate and the school games value celebrated for this event was Self Belief. All children were encouraged to display the school games values and fair play but each team nominated one pupil from their school who stood out the most for showing Self Belief School Games Value.
We had the following 10 schools attend our event:
- Arden Grove
- Beeston
- Garrick Green
- Ghost Hill
- Grove House
- King's Park
- Lodge Lane
- Nightingale
- Taverham Jnr
- Toftwood Jnr
The schools participated in 11 different activities delivered by Hellesdon High School sports leaders, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see 100 children involved in various activities and a great opportunity for the pupils to represent their school in a sports event. The pupils were active and improved across the day. Following on from todays event, we encourage schools to provide the children an opportunity to develop and improve their skills further by putting on clubs before/after school, break and lunchtimes.
Youth Voice - Quotes from the pupils at the event;
- "Loved it"
- "I liked everything especially the games"
