Primary & Special Schools Rowing 2023

Thursday 30^th November 2023 – Today was our annual PSSP Primary Inclusion Rowing event held at Cann Bridge School, hosted by the amazing team of sports leaders from Tor Bridge High. Teams from Cann Bridge, Widey Court, Widewell, Montpelier, Drake and Eggbuckland Vale came to compete in a personal best competition, focusing on self-belief, trying new things and having fun being active. Before the schools arrived, our young leaders received some training from Josh so that they could run various challenges and help the children with their technique. They were fantastic with the children and really ensured that they all had a great time and that the event was a success. As schools arrived, they were greeted by the leaders and taken through some technique pointers – then it was straight into it. Today’s event was all about personal best and striving to beat your own score. First up was the 100m dash: the children were challenged to row 100m as fast as they can but on their next go they had to try to beat their own score. We also had a 200m dash and a Fish Game challenge for all the children to try and even had some puzzles and art work stations for the children waiting for their turn. I would like to say a huge thank you to out sports leaders, who once again were brilliant with the children and really helped to make this such a fun and relaxed event. It was a pleasure to look around the hall this morning and see so many children smiling and enjoying being active and challenging themselves with something new. Thank you to all of the staff who brought their teams along, I hope you enjoyed it too and would be keen to come along to another PSSP inclusion event.
