Sports Day

KS2 Sport Experience Day

Each Year, Marshgate hosts a KS2 Sports Experience Day. KS2 spend the day experiencing a broad range of different sports that they would not usually get to experience or participate in in their normal PE curriculum. This year, each class got to try 5 different sports throughout the day and also took part in a Sports Day quiz where they learned about some of their teachers' more interesting sporting achievements.

The list of Sports that children took part in were; Gaelic Football, Wheelchair Basketball, Street Dance, Volleyball, Dodgeball, Boxing Fitness and Ultimate Frisbee.

The day was a huge success and the children all had a wonderful. I would like to thank London GAA for the Gaelic football sessions, Richmond Knights for the Wheelchair basketball and a huge thank you to Kick London and their coaches who catered for the rest of the sports.

Mr Healy.

Virtual Sports Day 2020

Unfortunately due to school closures we had to hold a 'Virtual' Sports Day this year. Children were asked to complete a variety of physical and skills based challenges, add up their totals and send to their class teacher. Loads of children took part and it was great to see so many children staying active despite the restrictions. Our key worker and vulnerable children also took part from school. Well done to all who took part.

Congratulations to class 5A and 4D who won the Year 5/6 and Year 3/4 competitions respectively.

In KS1, well done to Tadpole class. Congratulations to Liam Leahy who had the fastest 500m time and Thomas Larkin who held the longest plank.

Well done also to Oliver Roberts (Fastest 1km time) and Ria Westphely (Longest plank hold) in Year 5/6 category.

Congratulations to Aidan Matthews who had the fastest 1km time and longest plank hold in Year 3/4.

Have a look at some of the children taking part.
