The Junior Pupils had a lovely afternoon for their Sports Day and Summer Fair last week. Parents, friends, staff and students enjoyed watching the races and athletic events in brilliant sunshine, and all the participants had a super afternoon, with the usual good sportsmanship on display. Congratulations to Resolution, the winning team. Resolution’s House Captain, Jenna Coleman, was presented with the cup by Mr Griffin.
Many thanks to the Senior Sports Staff and Mrs Freer for organising the events, and to the PTA for running the Fair. Thank you also to the 6th Formers who were ‘roped in’ to hold the finishing tape and help with equipment.
Sports Day Poetry
Just four more days,
Practising with my friend.
Gaining my stamina,
I will get there in the end!
Walking down to the pitch,
Carrying a chair.
Stretch exercises.
Waiting for the Summer Fayre.
Sports’ day is over.
Shaking, waiting for the scores
Who will hold the trophy?
Hear the winning team roar!
By Lilly Belle Whiteley and Ben Carpenter
Just two more hours.
Hurry up time!
Ready to run.
I’m feeling sublime.
Mr Allen at the ready.
On your marks, get set, GO!
I’m sprinting away,
Far from being slow.
Ready for long jump.
I jumped a long way.
My legs are like springs
On a hot, hot day.
And …. Resolution won!
But we all tried our best.
I was ready for the Fayre
And a lovely, long rest.
By Jenna Coleman and Harry Brindley
Just one more day.
Not long to wait
Until Sports’ Day.
24th is the date.
The nerves are brewing,
Excitement, too.
No one’s allowed
To go to the loo!
“Form 3, please!”
Sprint position.
Take your marks!
Ready for the action!
Excel yourself
GO!
You didn’t win
OH NO!
Resolution won
So Endeavour didn’t.
But we all had fun

I remember our Sports’ Day.
We felt really crazy.
The day was great
And we couldn’t feel lazy!
I remember all the races
With a funny spoon and egg.
And a shouting from the parents,
“Giorgio, go break a leg!”
I remember team spirit
When we all wanted to win.
Your heart’s quickly beating
With an incredible din.
I remember all the scores
Which I wanted and I got.
My team has won and I’m happy
For being cool and brave a lot.
I remember all the things
Which happened on that day.
When we ran, screamed and played
This was our best Sports’ Day.
