Hadleigh Community Primary School celebrated its 2023 Sports Day with many traditional races.

The children from Reception to Year 6 marked this annual event with an opening ceremony.  This year’s opening ceremony was a celebration of colour and our global community. It incorporated Samba style drumming, Ukrainian singing, 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 and all the new class mascots to officially open Sports Day.

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

The overall winners of our 2023 Sports Day were: Yellow House!

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

Reception: Green House
Year 1: Blue House
Year 2: Green House
Year 3: Yellow House
Year 4: Green House
Year 5: Yellow House
Year 6: Blue House

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!
