Sports Day

This year’s sports day takes place on Thursday 10 July 2025 at Roundhegians Rugby Club LS8 2AT.

• Key Stage 2: 9.30am – 11.30am
• Reception and Key Stage 1: 1.30pm – 3.00pm

If weather conditions mean we have to change the date, the reserve date is Tuesday 15 July with the same timings.

Spectators are welcome and access to Roundhegians Rugby Club is from Chelwood Drive. Please bring your own seating. We will walk the children to Roundhegians on the day so if you’re able to help accompany the children, please let the office know.

For sports day, our teams will be green, blue, white and red. Your child will be told what colour team they are in. If possible, please could your child wear a t-shirt matching their team colour.

Please ensure your child has their water bottle and a cap/hat at school. It would also be useful if you could apply sun cream before your child comes to school.

Normal lunch time and end of school collection arrangements will still apply on this day.

Happy and healthy highlights

Well done to the Year 2 class for winning their skipping festival this week. This is the third year in a row our Year 2 class have achieved this. All the class worked hard as a team to earn as many skips as possible in their individual and group events. Dexter’s 99 single bounce skips in 30 seconds certainly helped to contribute to our winning total!

We know it’s technically a month or so too late, but we love this Moortown Maypole tradition! Our Reception friends are learning how to dance round the maypole. There is much perseverance, practice and patience needed (and that’s just the staff!) but the smiles show how much the children enjoy it.

Our Reception children will showcase their skills to open the Summer Fair on 04 July at 3.15pm. 

Staying with the happy and heathy theme…
