The sun was out for our 2025 Willow Lodge Sports Day, and the smiles on the faces of our infant children were just as bright!
In the morning, children in our two Reception classes took part in a series of races, including the Guide Dog Relay, which saw children working as a team to be the first to cross the line dressed as a puppy. With parents, staff and older children cheering them on, our youngest pupil thoroughly enjoyed their very first Sports Day at Willow Lodge.
In the afternoon, it was the turn of our Infant 1 and Infant 2 children who took part in classic races such as the sack race, egg and spoon, and a relay race, as well also having a go at the Guide Dog Relay.
Deputy Head of Willow Lodge, Hannah Gardiner, reflected on a fun, sport-filled day.
She said: “The children had lots of fun today and it was great for them to be able to show parents, siblings and grandparents the skills they have been working on this term.
“They also showed great sportsmanship and really entered into the spirit of the occasion.
“Huge thanks have to go to our class teachers and teaching assistants, as well as our sports coaches, who worked so hard to prepare the children for Sports Day.”
Thank you also to the KSPA volunteers for providing refreshments, and to the Junior School pupils who helped out throughout the day.
