YR1-2 ATHLETICS FESTIVAL
On 30th June 2023 we held our Yr1-2 Athletics Festival at Taverham High School. This was an Develop themed event and was for pupils who enjoy taking part and come to have a try 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 Determination. 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 Determination on School Games Value.
We had the following 16 schools/18 teams attend our event:
- Heather Av
- Ghost Hill
- Lodge Lane
- Garrick Green
- Bawburgh
- Nightingale
- Foulsham
- Gt Witchingham
- St Mary's
- Toftwood Inf
- Yaxham
- Stibbard
- North Elmham
- Cawston
- Corpusty
- Queen's Hill
The schools participated in 8 different team building activities which were 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 over 180 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.
