With so few sporting opportunities at the moment we thought it would be a shame to miss out on Sports Day this year, so we have created a 'Virtual Sports Day' which will take place on Monday 13th July.
Our 'Virtual Sports Day' is an exciting opportunity for students in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10 to compete individually to gain points for their House. The virtual activities will incorporate adapted athletic and fitness events, which require little or no equipment and can be completed both indoors and outdoors. We have selected 10 events covering a range of fitness components and students need to pick and complete any 7 to make their personalised heptathlon.
Details of the events and how to do them, will be shared via a video on our firefly app the week prior to the day in case students wish to practice. Students should take a look at this events video on how to execute and measure the performance effectively before deciding which 7 events they would like to do from the list below.
1. Sit ups in a minutes
2. Agility run
3. Standing long jump
4. 1k run
5. Standing triple jump
6. Alternate wall ball test
7. Plank hold
8. Shuffle taps in a minute
9 Wall sit
10. Around the world balance
Students will be sent a link via firefly on Monday 13th July to input their results for each event they have participated in, they must only enter the 7 events they complete and N/a for the 3 events they do not. We appreciate that measuring the events may be difficult, but we expect students to follow the guidance on how to do this in the example video.
We hope as many of our school community get involved in completing the virtual heptathlon. Results will be published and all students awarded house points for taking part with 5 house points for each completed event and 10 house points for any top 8 performance within each year group.
