Year 5 had a fantastic time at Poplar Baths today taking part in 6 different sports (and not a football in sight!) and competing against other schools for team spirit points.
The main aim to the day was to inspire children to enjoy being active and find a sport they love as well as practise good teamwork, sportsmanship and resilience.
All ready to go in our bibs – cheering for Lansbury Lawrence!
There were local sports coaches running the sports and volunteers from Morgan Stanley joined our teams to help us too!
All the children tried 6 different sports including Boxing, Basketball, Boccia, Dance, Rugby and Volleyball.
