Plympton Family KS1 Multi Skills 26.03.19

Another fantastic afternoon of sport at Plympton Academy. 13 Young Leaders from our school hosted 5 primary school teams at our annual KS1 Multi Skills festival.

Teams from Plympton St. Maurice, Compton, Yealmpstone Farm, Plympton St. Mary’s and Chaddlewood all came along to take part in our skills based festival. The activities ranged from tests of skill and accuracy with the Bean Bag Throw; team events such as a Sprint Relay and Ladder Relay; speed and agility with the Speed Bounce and even a test of strength with the Chest Push challenge.

There were so many smiling faces in the hall this afternoon and it was amazing to see so many children enjoying been physically active and challenged.

I would like to say a huge thank you to the Young Leaders who helped today—you really stepped up to make sure that all of the activities ran very smoothly. A personal thank you as well to Adam, who did an amazing job at collating all of the scores for me.

Every child that took part today received a certificate and the overall winning team received a special certificate.

Congratulations to Compton who were our overall winners on the day, having accumulated the most points across the 5 scored events and were the winners in the Ladder Relay and Chest Push events.

Congratulations as well to Yealmpstone Farm who were a very close 2nd place and were the overall winners in both the Bean Bag Throw and Speed Bounce challenges.

A huge well done to all of the teams who took part today, we could see how hard you were all trying to get points for your teams and we were all very proud of you. As well as competing for points for their team, there were some events where the children had the opportunity to compete for an individual medal; Isla from Plympton St. Mary’s won the medal for the girls in the Speed Bounce; Ollie from Compton took the top spot for the boys; they clearly have some very impressive athletes at Compton as the winners for all other individual medals went to Compton as well! Congratulations to Keda and Isaac who were top scorers in the Chest Push and to Edie in the Bean Bag Throw and Ollie, who received his second medal. Congratulations to all our winners.

I really hope that all of the competitors from today enjoyed themselves, everybody was trying so hard but it was great to see so many smiles as well.  I am already looking forward to our KS2 event coming up next week.
