What a fantastic day! 🌞🏃♀️🏅
Grove Academy Primary recently travelled to Thames Valley Athletics Centre for our annual Sports Day, and what a memorable occasion it was! With the sun shining and families cheering from the sidelines, our pupils enjoyed a day full of energy, determination and teamwork.
During the morning session, Years 4, 5 and 6 rotated around a range of exciting athletics events, including the javelin, long jump, sack race, obstacle course and 50m, 100m and 200m sprints. Sprint winners returned for thrilling finals to compete for gold, silver and bronze medals, while our longest jumpers and furthest javelin throwers were also crowned champions in each year group.
A special congratulations goes to Kelvin in Year 5, whose outstanding performances made him one of the stars of the day. 👏
In the afternoon, Years 1, 2 and 3 took to the field with just as much enthusiasm, enjoying activities including hurdles, the egg and spoon race, beanbag throwing and ball catching challenges. Every pupil gave their best effort and received a sticker to celebrate their fantastic participation.
A huge thank you to Mr Taylor for organising such an unforgettable day and to all of our staff whose hard work helped make the event such a tremendous success. We would also like to thank all of our parents and families for coming along to support and encourage our students throughout the day.
Most importantly, well done to every single child. Your behaviour was impeccable, your effort was outstanding and your sportsmanship made us all incredibly proud.
What a brilliant day of fun, friendship and sporting achievement! 💙💛
