The 2010 Lloyds TSB National School Sport Week starts on Monday 28th June!
Parents are welcome to come to all activities during our "National Sports and Healthy School Week" which will be based around our "Mini-Olympics".
On Monday morning we will have a mini-Olympics opening. The opening will be carried out by Councillors William Harrison, Margaret Sidebottom and Bill Fairfoull.
Each class will represent a country and parade around the playground in the national costumes, followed by a national dance. Children will take part in our Mini-Olympic games throughout the week, with a closing ceremony on Friday afternoon where certificates and prizes will be awarded, followed by a party in each class with food from that country.
We will also be taking part in the COW Scheme (Cycle Once a Week) and are encouraging children to cycle, scooter or walk to school next week.
