On the 3rd and 5th of July, children competed in the annual Ben Jonson Sports Day. The event as always was highly competitive as children tried their hardest to win for their class. The day was split in two with field events taking place at school. Events included were vertical jump, long jump, javelin, hoola-hooping, dribbling in and out of the cones, catch the train and boccia.

At Shandy Park, we had the track events which included the 50 metre sprint, 50 metre hurdles, long distance run, egg and spoon race, sack race and the relay. It was a joy to see children cheering on their peers for each event and showing great sportsmanship to one another. A huge thank you also goes out to the parents and carers who came to encourage their child and create a wonderful atmosphere.
