Hello All,
Following on from your recent assemblies, here is all the
information you will need to choose your school-based activities
in the coming days.
Have a browse through the information and decide which 3
activities you would like to do this Community Sports Day.
These could be something you love already or something that
you’ve always wanted to try, or could be something you’ve never
heard of before and in the full spirit of what are Communities
are all about, you’re willing to give them a go for your
Community!
Further information about how you sign up for your activities
will be sent to you shortly and you must get you choices in
straightaway to avoid disappointment! Start choosing today!
Are you a defender or a shooter? Better as a centre or speedy on the
wing?
Whether you've played netball before or not, this is a chance for you to
work as a team with your Community members and shoot your way to
success against the other Learning Communities!
Get into the spirit of the World Cup in true Brazilian style!
Show off your fancy footwork like a Pele and score like a Ronaldinho.
Playing with a smallerr, heavier ball, fewer players and using Brazilian
inspired training methods, shoot your way to footballing victory.
You might not be playing for England yet but wear your Community
colours with pride in this fast-paced, fun-filled footballing free-for-all!
Whether you can sail a sail-boat or lie on a lilo, show off your nautical
skills to race a dinghy across the cool school pool and have some fun
splashing about in the water!
Use skill and tactics to take the lead or throw yourselves in and hope for
the best! This session can be as much fun or strategic as you want it to
be.
Know your forehand from your backhand? Your baseline from your lob?
Can you combine physical ability with the flair of a Williams or the
dogged determination of a Murray? Or maybe you've never played before
and just want to have a go!
Why not come and take on the other Communities in a doubles tennis
tournament and have fun on the courts. When you're not playing, cheer
on your Community members on our very own ‘Henman Hill’ in front of the
new building and let's recreate Wimbledon right here in LS29!

line, this is a great activity to get the adrenalin pumping and the points

while all about are losing
theirs? Are you cool, calm
and collected under
pressure?
Then this is the
competition for you!
You need a steady hand to
wind your way around the
wire and win the game for
your community.
