Mini Commonwealth Games

As part of our collaboration with Inspire+, children in year 3 have an annual opportunity to attend the Mini Olympic (renamed Mini Commonwealth for this year only) games held at The Meres in Grantham.  The event is now huge with over 30 schools attending plus Olympic Champions and other local athletes.

Our Y3's wore the school PE kit and were accompanied by our Bronze Sports Ambassadors Jessamy and Amy who wore their Inspire+ kit.

 

Just arrived and demonstrating our banner for our Commonwealth country and our Flame made by the Bronze Ambassadors.

 

 

A chance to get autographs for Riley from Sam Ruddock - a para-olympian who came to school a few weeks ago - see Mrs Chadwick's PE blog!

 

 

Playing blind football - not so easy because we really need to listen for the bell in the ball!

 

 

Some sort of table tennis - everyone watching and fingers crossed!

 

 

Goal scoring - really need to concentrate!

 

 

Tag rugby - getting ready!

 

 

Wheelchair sprint - not sure about this!  We have a set of 10 wheelchairs coming to school in the next year for a sports club so watch this space!

 

 

The closing ceremony - sky jumpers.

 

 

This was brilliant because it really linked to our current science topic on Forces!

 

A great day was had by all - thanks to Mrs Barnes and Mrs Lamb and all the parents who transported the children - we couldn't do this without your support!
