This event was not about winning. The children had to judge each team they played against three school games values: Honesty, Respect and Teamwork, and give them 1, 3 or 5 marks depending how well they demonstrated these skills. All the children really enjoyed the morning and made the school proud by showing so many of these values. They came 3rd in the morning heat! Well done J

Sports for Schools Athlete Event
On Monday 16th October 23, the whole of All Saints’, took part in a Sports for Schools fundraising event. Sports for Schools is a social enterprise that brings the country’s top athletes into schools to encourage children (and teachers!) to be more active. The athlete we were lucky to have in school was Joe Roebuck, a GB Olympic swimmer, ten times British Champion, double commonwealth medallist and London 2012 Olympic semi-finalist. He ran a fitness circuit with every class before leading an inspiring whole school assembly.
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the fundraising. The school raised a MASSIVE £1690 for the school which will be put towards new PE equipment. We will let you know of these purchases when we have decided.
