This year, our Sports Day is happening online and we have been working hard to make it fun and challenging for everyone!
During this Virtual Sports Day, you’ll have to take part in a maximum of 10 challenges, take note of the score you get for each of them. Of course you can complete all activities and then chose your best 10 to send with your scores. There is a scoring template below if you’d like to print it off, otherwise you can just write them on a piece of paper as you go. Take a picture of your score sheet and email it to Ms. Judge (missjudge19@gmail.com) by Monday. You could also complete the challenges without scores and at any time during the Summer.
