Hadleigh Community Primary School celebrated its 2024 Sports Week with many traditional races.

The children from Nursery to Year 6 marked this annual event with an opening ceremony.  This year’s opening ceremony was to present a School Full of Stars. It incorporated an inspirational song, personal reflections by the pupils on why sport matters to them as well as colourful and exciting displays of Gymnasts, Dancers, Musicians and Cheerleaders.

PE Ted arrived with the School Council to officially open each event.

The children competed against each other in their coloured houses. There were many races which included sprints, hurdles, relays, obstacle, skipping, sack, and egg and spoon.

Our pupils worked extremely hard during their PE, Music & Gymnastics and Dance lessons over the half-term to put on such an amazing performance for all of the parents, family, friends and peers who attended in their numbers to celebrate and enjoy their fantastic achievements.

The overall winners of our 2024 Sports Day were: Green Griffins with 891 points!

Each Year group also had their own winner, these were:

Reception: Red Rabbits
Year 1: Red Rabbits
Year 2: Blue Bats
Year 3: Green Griffins
Year 4: Yellow Yetis
Year 5: Green Griffins
Year 6: Green Griffins

Thanks to everyone who helped make this event such a success. The children also enjoyed ice pops at the end of a tiring day which were donated by the Home School Association (HSA).

The children in Nursery took part in their own fun sports day alongside Reception. Some of the activities included obstacle, pancake, ‘oppy oppy’ and sprint races.

All the children performed fantastically in front of the big crowds that had come to watch them! Much fun was had by all the children, staff and not forgetting PE Penguin!

Thank you to the Year 5 Play Leaders & Year 6 Sport Leaders, who helped with running all the events!
