Bourne Abbey: Sports Day 2023

SPORTS DAY 2023

The sun shone on Bourne Abbey’ s field, adding to the amazing spectacle that was Years 4, 5 and 6 sports day. It was a fantastic colourful sight to see the children all competing in their house colour t-shirts and being able to compete for their houses once more in teams. The children took part in a number of races, some fun as well as some extremely competitive sprint and relay races. The standard of competition was high and there were some outstanding performances from individuals; some really talented athletes on display. The pupils demonstrated a lot of fantastic traits: determination to do well both for themselves and for their house; perseverance, humility, teamwork and comradery but most importantly – fun. There were huge smiles on the children’s faces throughout, which was a joy to see and all the staff were incredibly proud of their year groups.

Robin house proved too strong for the other houses on the day finishing in first place. Mr Shore, PE Leader, said, “I was delighted to see the competitive spirit of the children, allowing pupils to shine in a sporting environment, but equally pleased with the teamwork and enjoyment shown amongst the pupils,; it made me and all the other staff extremely proud.”
