This year, ‘Sports Day’ will be held on Wednesday 12th July, weather permitting. Our pupils in EYFS and Key Stage 1 will have their events in the morning; our Key Stage 2 pupils in the afternoon.
The EYFS and KS1 sports morning will involve traditional races and will take place on the Front and Top yard in front of the Reception classes. Parents are very welcome to attend.
We would like to invite parents/carers (weather permitting!) to join us for a picnic lunch on the bank between the sporting events to create a community feel. Classes of Reception and Key stage 1 children will be escorted back to the bank at 11.30. Children can either bring their own packed lunch or order a grab bag sandwich meal as usual on the morning register. No cooked meal choices will be available on this day. Children can then sit with their parents/carers to eat lunch (adults may want to bring their own packed lunch!) or with their class if parents cannot join us. Children will then return to their classes at approximately 12:15 for the remainder of their lunch break and afternoon lessons.
Parents who have children in Key stage 2 are welcome at this time to join the Key stage 2 children for lunch on the Tennyson Field; classes of key stage two children will be escorted to the Tennyson field at 12:15 with their packed lunches or grab bags. Children can then sit with their parents/carers to eat lunch or with their class if parents cannot join us. Children will then return to their classes to prepare for the events and allow the field to be set up while parents/carers make themselves comfortable in the viewing area until the KS2 events begin at 1:10p.m.
It should make for a wonderful day!
