Clapgate Sport and Health Week
From Monday 3rd- Friday 7th July, all classes took part in Clapgate’s Sport and Health week. Within the week we had sports days, coached sessions ran by local sports clubs, healthy recipe making and a staff vs Y6 rounders match! Children got to try new sports, increase their movement amount and have fun whilst being active!
To kick start the week, we had Bex Rayner visit school who is a professional female footballer who plays for Sheffield United. She worked with all children and led them in an exercise circuit followed by an assesmbly with a demonstration of her skills and Q&A session.
Activities across the week included judo with Hajime Judo Club, rugby with Hunslet RLFC, basketball with City of Leeds Basketball, football with FootTech, boxing with Hunslet Club plus many more! Children also explored the gymnastics climbing frame and had intraclass competitions.
Sports Days took place for all year groups with families invited to come and watch (and participate at times!). The children were fantastic and all worked very hard in their races and different activities such as long jump, javelin, penalty shoot out and speed bounce.
We finished the week with a staff vs Year 6 rounders match. Year 6 had been practising a lot during the summer term but the staff team were very focused. After 2 innings each of batting and fielding and Nursery-Year 5 spectating, the game finished 7 rounders to Year 6 and 21 rounders to staff meaning the staff won!
A very busy, active and fun week. Thank you to all our children, staff and families for your support. Here’s to Clapgate Sport and Health week 2024!
