NATIONAL SCHOOL SPORTS WEEK

As part of the above event on the school held a sports activity day. Ten different activities, including an agility ladder, golf and shuttle runs, were arranged around the playing field and the sports hall and pupils, led by staff, moved between the different activities. Pupils were scored on their performance and they had been asked to get sponsors, with each sponsor paying a pledged amount for each point gained.

To say that the event was a success would be an understatement: the pupils thoroughly enjoyed themselves and at the end were pleading for another similar event next year. It did help that the sun shone brightly - as, indeed, it has for all our sporting activities over the last two weeks - but pupils very sensibly kept themselves hydrated. It is hoped that once the sponsor money is in we will have raised up to £1000 for Friends of Beech House.

Many thanks to Mr. Hargreaves, Mrs. White and Miss Whitehead for organising the event, the staff who counted and timed the activities and the pupils for all their efforts.
