Pinewood School Sports Day 2020

Hello everyone,

What an exciting day.  It is now time for Pinewood Sports Day…..

This year our Sports Day is going to be a little bit different but don’t worry it’ll be just as much fun. Our theme this year is based on the Tokyo Olympic & Paralympic Games which has some Super Cool Mascots.

Lets go and meet a few of them….

Now let’s see what we have planned for today’s Sports Day…

We’ve prepared some activities and games that everyone can do and take part with their family, the Sports Day is based on the Tokyo Olympics which were scheduled to go ahead this year. But we are at home too and thought it would be great to help out at Pinewoods Sports Day. Let’s get started!

Activity 1: Colouring Activity

Mira & So would like to join your team. You only need one Mascot.  Choose your favourite Mascot and Colour in their outfit for the Pinewood Sports Day.

Note
: Think about what you want to wear at Sports Day, maybe they could match your outfit, or you could match them…

Activity 2: Creating a Country

  • Mira & So would like you to create a country to represent at the Pinewood Sports Day. We want you to use your imagination and come up with a cool name for a country, it can be a funny name, a strange name, the name of something you like and is up to you.

    Note
    : This task is for pupils and parents or anyone else taking part…
  • No country can go without a flag, so your next task is to create a flag for your country.
    You can use as many colours or shapes as you want, you can use collage, pens, pencil, labels, cereal boxes, whatever, anything you like.

    Note
    : again, this task is for pupils and parents or anyone else taking part…

 

Please take some pictures of the flags, mascot and country names to share with us and as always, keep safe and have fun.
