On Thursday 26th September Year 3 attended an Active 60 festival where they were tasked with three activities to complete. The first event was Handball, the children were split into four teams made up of different children from three schools. The teams competed against each other and learnt how best to work together to move up and down the pitch to score goals. The second event was an athletics activity, the children played games like ‘head, shoulders, knees and toes and had lots of fun at this station. The final event was a special opportunity for the class, they were lucky enough to have a turn on the driving range. They took turns practicing striking the ball from a tee and even played a computer game that tracked their shot. The tracker showed the distance the ball had travelled, and the children were shown how many fish they had collected in comparison to how far they hit the ball. Year 3 had a fantastic morning and are hoping to be invited to take part again!
A huge thank you to Mr.Doney for assisting with transport and supporting us all throughout the morning.
