Today, Bella, Aydin, Oscar, Lucas and Skye went to the St Ives
Sports Centre to take part in a Multi Sports Festival hosted by the
Huntingdon School Sports Partnership.
We started off
playing Krazy Cones. This is where 4 coloured cones light up in
sequence, you have to remember the sequence and re-light the lights. We
then moved onto archery and all the children enjoyed being Robin Hood.
We then played New Age Curling. This is similar to traditional
curling, except the stones are on wheels instead of ice. All managed to
gain brilliant scores. Then came Boccia, which is like bowls, but with
soft balls. Next was Crazy Catch. This produced lots of laughter as the
balls bounced off the nets as some funny angles. Oscar set the record
of the day with 45 catches in 1 minute. We then played a target
throwing game where several children managed to equal the highest
available score of 72. Our final game was table cricket. This is
played on a table tennis table with walls marked with numbers and
‘fielders’. The ball is bowled down a ramp and hit with a small cricket
bat. If you hit a ‘fielder’ you are ‘caught out’, if you hit a number
(2,4, or 6) you score that many runs. Lucas showed fantastic leadership
during this helping some of the other children with their batting
technique.
We then finished the morning off with a presentation where the children received a medal each. All the children had a fantastic morning showing some great sportsmanship and team work.
