Dear Parents & Pupils,
At this time of year we would normally be preparing for our annual ‘School Sports Day’ and this year will be no different! From June 15th to 19th we are asking you to stay active at home and have a ‘Virtual Sports Day!’.
We are asking you and your family to plan and participate in your very own ‘Virtual Sports Day’. Below you will see ‘How to Plan a Virtual Sports Day’. Your ‘Virtual Sports Day’ can take place on any day from the 15th-19th June. In fact, you can have a ‘Virtual Sports Week’ if you want!
We encourage all of you to send in pictures or videos of your ‘Virtual Sports Day’ activities on Aladdin and we’ll upload them to the school website and Twitter account. Everybody who returns a video or photo will be entered in a draw for ‘A Sportsman’s Dream’ voucher!
This event is about staying active and having fun. Put your own unique slant on ‘Sports Day’ and most importantly have a ball! We can’t wait to see what you get up to!
All the best,
Staff of C.B.S Primary Nenagh
