Early Years Sports Days

 What a wonderful morning!

Our little friends were very busy demonstrating their PE skills when taking part in the races that were set up for them... so busy and involved. It was exciting to watch them perform.

Our Year 6 students did a great job supporting the PE department in facilitating the activities! Thank you Year 6!

Here are some glimpses into the morning!
