To complete the 2020 - 2021 academic year, all the children in school were able to participate in Sports Day with their class. Each class had a fantastic day where they could apply the skills which they've learnt during their PE lessons. For our Reception and Key Stage 1 children, it was their first St James Sports Day!
The children were excellent in competing in the activities and also having key roles throughout the day helping with score keeping, starting races, organising events for the next competitors and being excellent sports people supporting each other in the events.
All the children in school are in houses: Captain Tom Moore (Yellow), Usain Bolt (Blue), J K Rowling (Red) and Greta Thunberg (Green).
Our last sports day was in the summer of 2019. Our Sports Day Champions this year were Trott House (Yellow - now known as Captain Tom Moore).
With all the results counted up. Our overall winners of Sports Day 2020 - 2021 and still reigning champions are the Yellow House - Captain Tom Moore!! Well done to all those in this house on their victory and to all the children who participated. As you can see from the results, it was very close.
