Yr 2-4 Active Kids Festival
On 29th September 2023 we held our Yr 2-4 Active Kids Festival at Taverham High School. This was an Engage 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 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 16 schools attended our event:
- Arden Grove
- Barford
- Bawburgh
- Bawdeswell
- Beeston
- Ghost Hill
- Lodge Lane
- Lyng
- Queen's Hill
- Reepham
- Scarning
- St Mary's
- St Peter's
- Taverham Jnr
- Toftwood Inf
- Toftwood Jnr
The schools participated in 8 different activities and our new Taverham High School sports leaders, who were brilliant at supporting and encouraging the children to do their personal best. It was great to see over 150 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.
