Vale Royal 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 Abbey 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!
