Summer Sports at Millfield

Throughout the Summer term at Millfield, the children have experienced different sports within their class and year group bubbles.

Across the school, classes have been participating in athletics lessons. They have been competing in races such as hurdles, relays and flat races, as well as competing in other fun field events in preparation for sports day. All children have had the opportunity of developing different skills.

Each year group had a designated ‘Sports Morning’ and competed in their house colours against each other. All the activities the children took part in were scored. The children had four different activities to take part in where they would try to score as many points for their house colours as possible. The four activities were:

1. Passing a football through a hoop – One point scored each time a ball passed through the hoop.
2. Beanbag throw – Each child threw three beanbags, the points were scored depending in which hoop the beanbag landed in.
3. Egg and spoon – Each child earned a point every time they walked from one end of the track to the other and passed it to their teammate without the egg falling off the spoon.
4. Relay changeover – Children ran the baton to one end of the track and passed it to the next person. Children earned a point for every successful changeover.

Each house worked for 8 minutes per activity before switching to the next activity. Once all four activities were completed children competed in their track events These consisted of three races.

1. Flat sprint race
2. Hurdle race
3. Teamed relay

Well done to all the children who took part in their ‘Sporting Morning’. The children experienced working in a competitive team environment where they competed against other house colours. Everyone did their absolute best and we are very proud of them all!

The scores achieved on the day are as follows:
