Sports Day is one of the great events in our Berkswich school calendar and we are not going to let anything stop us from celebrating this competition together this year. However, we do have to be safe and responsible, so this year I have designed activities that can be done in your garden, a park area or in your learning bubble if you are attending school at the moment. These activities can be done just by you or why not get your whole family active and involved. As well as being a school competition you could make it into a family one as well!

There are ten fun activities for you to have a go at. They are listed below. The more activities you try the more points you earn for your house team that you are in. For every activity that you have a go at you will get one point. Therefore the maximum points that you can get is ten. The points from every class will be added up and the team with the most will be the 2020 Sports Day winners.

The start date for this is Monday 22nd June and you have until Friday 10th July to complete these activities. If you are completing this at home please send the following information through Seesaw to your class teacher by Friday 10th July. You will need to let your teacher know the number of activities that you completed, the name of the house that you are in and photographs of you completing the challenges.

If you are attending school at the moment you will have the opportunity to do it there as part of your PE lessons.

The winning house team will be announced during the last week of term.

Get active and most of all have fun!
