We had a wonderful day today as we celebrated Sports Day – the weather was perfect for a full day of all kinds of sporting activities!
We began this morning with a few warm ups to get us ready for the rest of the day.
Then it was time for some races – each class had a running race, a sack race, an egg and spoon race and a 3-legged race!
After break, it was time for tug-of-war. The teachers put up a good fight against the pupils!
Next we had a photo orienteering challenge – we were given photos of objects around the school grounds and had to work together to find these and mark their locations on a map.
Before lunch, we tried a new sport – welly throwing! Everyone got one chance to see how far they could throw the welly and we marked each distance on the yard. Well done to our three champion welly throwers!
After lunch, we divided into teams for some challenges. First we had a water relay – each team had to get as much water as they could into the tub across the yard, but our cups had a hole in the bottom!
We also had to transfer as many peas as we could from one box to another using only a straw.
We tested our team work and co-operation skills with the hula hoops.
Before the Infants went home, we were all presented with a medal to say a big ‘Well done!’ for taking part in Sports Day!
To finish off a wonderful day, each team played a soccer, Gaelic and basketball match.
What a great Sports Day – well done everyone!
