PRIMARY SCHOOL PUPILS GET MULTI-SKILLED!
23 January 2024 | Sven Wardle | Posted in: News, Primary Transition, Sport
Year 9 Sports Leaders from Richmond School led a multi skills sports festival for pupils in Key Stage 1 recently.
Pupils from nine local primary schools – Barton, Bolton on Swale, Brompton on Swale, Croft, Michael Syddall, Ravensworth, Richmond St Mary’s, Trinity Academy Middleton Tyas and Trinity Academy Richmond participated in the event.
The pupils took part in a huge array of running, throwing and jumping based games throughout the morning. The leaders worked hard to ensure they were creating a fun yet safe set of activities whilst making sure that they were able to communicate with the participants in a very busy and noisy sports hall. This included demonstrating what they wanted the pupils to do as well as talking to the pupils on their level to ensure they could be heard.
The event was hugely successful with both the Key Stage 1 pupils and the Year 9 leaders leaving the event thoroughly worn out!
Thank you to the Year 9 Sports Leaders, all pupils and staff from participating primary schools and to Mrs. Carruthers for organising the event.
