School Sport Partnership Relay SUMMER 2018

I N TH I S ISSUE: Smoking Hot 1 Smoking Hot Events for Super Sunny School Sport Week Events for Super Sunny School National School Sport Week was not only a success in terms of the weather but also the number of par- Sport Week ticipants! With a focus on athlete engagement rather than competitive outcomes it made for a real feel of Competition 2 development throughout the week There were some firsts this year such as an event for reception and update year 1, with the balance festival, which saw nearly 200 children take part in activities to promote early

Winsford Cluster 2 cycling skills. We also ran the Adventure! Run! Challenge! for teams of children from Y3-6,. Schools took Update part in team based challenges along a mile long course to test their problem solving and teamwork skills. On a baking hot day there was plenty of water to cool them down too! We also saw a first in terms of a new venue this year as Vale Royal Golf Club hosted our Tri-Golf competition. In the beautiful backdrop of the Abbey teams competed in yet more sweltering conditions and Charles Darwin won through to the County Final in both age groups. They went on to win the Coun- ty event at Y5/6, finishing in third place at Y3/4. The Russett also won Gold in the inclusive competition. Perhaps teams were ultimately inspired by the amazing venue! As ever it was an extremely hectic week but a most rewarding one as we saw huge numbers of children taking part in more than 20 events throughout the five day period!

It`s been a busy old term with National School Sport Week (NSSW), lots of Cricket taking place and various Partnership finals too! Winsford Cluster Update Across Winsford during NSSW we saw 100s of children take part in a host of sports and activities across all ages. There was something for everyone with our first ever balance festival for recep- tion and year 1, where we saw children develop their cycling skills, through to another first in the Adventure! Run! Challenge! We are extremely grateful to those schools who hosted some of our events and also the teachers for ensuring participation was excellent! We`ve definitely set a stand- ard for next year!

We also delivered training in a couple of schools using the Start to Move and Healthy Movers resources for KS1 and worked to develop Personal Challenge with KS2 (which we utilised during NSSW).

Have a great and restful Summer and see you all in September!
