Sports Day 2020
On Monday 13th July, we celebrated our first ever virtual sports day. The day began with a live stream of a workout led by Ms Watkins, Mrs Lace and some staff on the front lawn. They were joined by other members of staff and students who tuned in remotely. After a good HIT session, everyone was then invited to complete a challenge to accumulate as many miles as possible for their house.
This involved going for a walk, run, cycle, swim or any other activity that could be done with family members, friends or by themselves. Distances had to be recorded and shared on a spreadsheet so that the number of miles could be calculated and the winning house worked out.
The results also included a Key Stage 3 challenge where students were asked to complete four activities that included Standing Long Jump, Standing High Jump, Ball throw and Co-ordination.
The overall winners were Palmer, followed by Sidmouth and Cedars. Year 7 were the winners in a Year group breakdown.
There were some fantastic individual student and staff performances for each house.
