Sport Relief
Mon 21 Mar 2016Children have been taking part in lots of sporting challenges and activities this week as part of Sport Relief. We have been Trampolining, playing Table Tennis and doing the Speed Bounce challenge.
On Tuesday, Luke, Aiysha, Sujeeth, Skylar, Noah and Sathana swam the sport relief mile, as a relay team, in an impressive 25 minutes 46 seconds. Beating the school record set two years ago!
On Friday year 5 and 6 children went on a 9 mile cycle ride along the length of the Green Chain walk and the best Speed Bouncers from each year took on the teachers during assembly. The best score was achieved by Mishka of 89 bounces in 30 second.
