Virtual Sports Day - Friday 19th June 2020

Normally at this time of the year we would be having our Sports Day, which is always one of the most fun days in the school year for all of us!!!
Unfortunately this year with our school closed we can't do our Sports Day.
Instead, we would love if you took part in our Virtual Sports Day!

Taking part is easy!!:

  • We have picked different activities and challenges that you should be able to do with very little equipment that can all be found around your house!
  • You can record yourself doing as many of the activities as you like and send a video of your best attempt to us on Seesaw!
  • You will receive a 'Virtual Sports Day' Booklet on the day you are collecting your copies, books, artwork etc.. with the details of the activities and explanations.
  • If you click on each of the pictures below, you can see what is in the booklet - Rules, explanations and activity list. 
Keep reading to find out more information below!



What to do:

Before the 19th of June:

1) Familiarise yourself with the Virtual Sports Day Booklet and activities.
2) Watch the explanation videos included in the pdf linked below.
3) Ensure that you have all the equipment needed (See list of equipment below).
4) If you are unsure of anything, you can ask us a question on Seesaw before the day of the Sports Day.

On the day of the Sports Day:

1) Ensure you have someone to time you and film you doing the activities.
2) Make sure you have all the equipment you'll need, speakers, suncream, drinks etc... 
3) Upload the videos of your best attempts of the activities to Seesaw. (Include a note telling us your best time/amount of reps you completed!)
4) We encourage everyone to take part in a safe place, away from traffic and other dangers. If you are doing these activities in a public place, such as Kilbogget, make sure you follow social distancing guidelines and aren't gathering in big groups to do these activities!
5) Most importantly - Stay Safe and Have Fun!!!
