Memories of 4th Class 2020
Sports Day at Home
At this time of year, the children are looking forward to the event of the year: Sports Day!
Sadly, the children won’t get the opportunity to experience a Sports Day in the traditional sense this year. Below are a list of easy activities and links that might help you re-create some of the fun and joy that Sports Day brings into your home.
We have created a choice board of 15 activities that your child might like to complete this week as part of our virtual Sports Day/Week.. Download the PDF link which will allow you to click on the different boxes, videos/instructions of how to complete the activities. Your child may have her own ideas of how the task could be improved, and if this is the case, by all means go ahead and change it. You might choose to do one activity/do all the activities one day, or spread them out over the week. I have elected Wednesday as our Class Sports Day so no other work is assigned but as I said, you can spread it out throughout the week.
Everyone who takes part will receive an electronic certificate via email. Please let us know how many activities your child completes so we can send the correct certificate. We also have a special competition for obstacle courses. Whoever designs the most creative obstacle course will receive a special certificate and a photo of their obstacle course will be uploaded onto the School Blog for everyone to see.
The most important thing is to have fun, and enjoy the Sports Challenges.
We’d love to see your photos/videos of your Covid 19 Sports Day, so make sure you send them in! If sending in videos, please no longer than 10 seconds.
Remember! We cannot post a picture/video of a child on her own on the blog.
Stay active and have fun!

PS. Why not organise something nice to eat for the finale. An ice-lolly, ice-cream or maybe a bag of popcorn would go down a treat!
