Each morning our students started the day with a fun physical activity challenge in tutor time, which they and their tutors fully embraced. There were some exceptional performances in the Sally squat and cha cha slide plank challenge, and an incredible show of core control from Zach in the shoe challenge.
At lunch time our students enjoyed playing ultimate frisbee, 3 v 3 basketball, kwik cricket, rowing and skipping.
What a great week of physical activity we have seen at Carisbrooke College for National School Sports Week! We joined the pledge ‘to play for fun, play for 60’ in a bid to fulfil the government’s target of an hour of physical activity a day for young people.
Looking at the activity planners in tutor time it is clear to see that so many of our year 7 students achieved this.
I would just like to pass on a huge thank you to the year 10 Young Ambassadors for helping lead the tutor and lunchtime activities; the feedback has been really positive. Although it is the end of National School Sports Week, I challenge you to continue seeking ways to achieve 60 minutes of physical activity a day to experience the many physical, mental and social benefits which physical activity brings. Well done to everyone involved.
Mrs Peake
