Waltham Forest Commonwealth Games Day

Inspired by the upcoming Commonwealth Games, often referred to as the ‘Friendly Games’, Year 2 and 3 children from schools across the borough were invited to attend the Waltham Forest Commonwealth Games Day on Thursday. 30 of our Year 3 pupils attended this celebratory festival of sport, held at the Peter May Centre, and were able to participate in a range of sporting activities. This event was made even more special by the fact that Year 5 and 6 pupils, from a number of schools, led every one of the activities! 24 of our Year 5 pupils led sessions in archery, rugby, seated volleyball and lacrosse demonstrating fantastic teaching and leadership skills, inspiring younger pupils. It was a huge event, with 550 pupils attending in total! Thank you to Shona Gordon for organising such an amazing event.
