Reaching high for the best for your child

Fairlands Sports Day took place on Tuesday and was a fantastic day! With the Commonwealth Games coming up this Summer in Glasgow, all of the children were put into teams from Commonwealth countries. The atmosphere was absolutely brilliant and all of the teams were wonderful at supporting the members of their team during the races.

It was a very close competition and all of the children showed an enormous amount of resilience and determination during their races. In the end, it wasn’t to be for England though, as Scotland snatched first place in the last few races. Everyone in the Scottish team was thrilled and were called up to accept the Fairlands Sports Day trophy and as an added bonus, were able to hold up the authentic Olympic and Paralympic Games torches.

A huge thank you goes out to all of the staff who helped to organise and run the day, especially Miss Parsley, who is our PE subject leader, for 'making it all happen'! Thanks also to the parents who showed enormous support and to Fairlands Faces for running the refreshment stand on the day.
