Mini Olympics 2010 |
Mini Olympics -July 5th
In the morning we invited 16 of the most able year 2s up to JKCC for a morning of competitive, challenging activities. The activities were run by JKCC sports leaders and included football skills, skipping, speed bounce, javelin throws and many more. At the end of the morning when all the points were added up, Shakespeare emerged the winners with Manadon in 2nd place and Knowle 3rd.
In the afternoon, the rest of the year 2 pupils from all 6 schools came for an afternoon of activities. This was based on participating and getting active, rather than competition.
It was an exhausting day for all involved but thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks to all the schools for supporting this event - it must have broken the school record for the number of 6 year olds in 2 sports halls at any one time!!!
Cricket festival
On what turned out to be a rainy, misty day 10 teams from years 3 and 4 competed in a cricket festival. This was hosted at Mayflower school this year and we were lucky to be able to have Callum Whittaker (Plymouth CC captain) who is a member of staff at JKCC to support throughout the day. Sports leaders from DHSG also helped throughout the day in many capacities- umpiring, team managers, score sheets, results and the final presentation. They did an excellent job!
Hyde Park A took the gold medals with Manadon the silver. In the B team competition, Shakespeare were the winners.
Congratulations to all who took part and thanks to Mayflower school for hosting the event.
