Hello Families, I would like to let you know that we are not going to let the Corona Pandemic stop us from enjoying sports day this year. Instead we will just do slightly differently!
On the morning of Tuesday 26th May I would like to invite all our pupils and families to take part in our virtual sports day (details and pictures of events are attached) these will help you look out the equipment you will need all of which you should be able to source around the house. Parents and carers, siblings in secondary can also take part in the events, however we are just looking for Broughton Pupil’s scores.
It will be a Broughton house event, Macdonald, Trinity, Pilrig and Drummond, which ever house your children are in they will compete as part of that house. An overall score will be worked out for each house. Mrs Gowans will then announce the winning house with the most points.
How to take part: Have the event sheet to hand at the end of this document. Either print off the score sheet or edit it on a laptop or copy it out onto your own piece of paper. Gather the equipment you need (see attached events sheet). Decide what space you are going to do the events in. These can be in the house/flat, garden, safe place on your pavement outside. You don’t need too much space for any of the events. Wear Broughton house colours if you have or loose clothes and gym shoes. On the morning of the 26th May any time after 9AM work your way through the events and record scores accurately. Also, if you like, take photos of you and your family taking part in the events, you can send these to your class teacher by e-mail or on teams, please note if you are happy for them to be uploaded to the school twitter account.
After you have taken part: Once you have finished the sports day, send your scores and any photos to your class teacher. Scores should be submitted by Wednesday 27th May 3.15pm. Results will be posted on Friday 29th May via twitter and the school website. We look forward sharing our virtual sports day with you.
Yours Sincerely, The Broughton Health Group.
