Organised by
Mr Cotton, he had invited loads of different clubs to come in and showcase what
sports were available to us. We had 25 minutes on each one and the volunteers
from their clubs showed us how fun each sport can be. There was a range of
activities there, such as, Judo, Tennis, Gymnastics, Karate, Hockey,
Basketball, Badminton, Rowing and many more.
At 10:50am
we all converged to the sports hall and we were then told which six of the many
sports we were doing in our form groups. I’m sure everyone enjoyed each
activity and what they did in it, to show them actually what is out there open
to them. The sports had well set out plans and each one took our interest and
made them fun. For instance, in Judo we got to kick each other with pads on,
(which obviously appealed to the boys a lot), and in Tennis we got to play
matches and had coaching at the same time, so we weren’t bored and sitting
around.
After two
activities we went to have lunch and then were straight back to our last four
sports. The day was very good and very fun, (especially as we got to miss three
lessons), but we enjoyed playing the variety of sports. At the end we
congratulated the volunteers on giving us very good and exciting lessons and
took information off the clubs we were most interested in. In my opinion I
preferred the tumble mat, because it was different and very fun.
A big thank you to the volunteers who gave up their time to
show us what was on offer, and also to Mr Cotton for setting this very fun and
knowledgeable day up for us.

the whole of Year 7 took part in a range of sporting activities leading off
from the London Olympics and carrying on that legacy.

Last
Thursday (27th June) all of Year 7 took part in an Association Day
to promote sports clubs in the area. These clubs had volunteers who came in to
teach us how to do things like Karate, Tumbling, Judo, Rowing and many more. In
tumbling we learnt how to do a flick. It was great fun, we also learnt
badminton, tennis, taekwnondo and parkor. We all went round in our form groups
doing these different sports.
We would
like to say a massive thank you to the clubs and coaches who came in to teach
us these sports and we hope they had as nicer day as we all did.
