This year West Lane decided to slightly change the format of our Sports Day. Inspired by the fact that 2008 is an Olympic year, we decided to split the children into 6 countries U.S.A, Russia, Brazil, Australia and of course China and Great Britain.
We also split the sports days into key stage 1 and 2, with the carousel events in the morning being slightly more Olympic orientated [ie more traditional field events]. The afternoon’s competitive events were well supported by parents and culminated in the exciting finals of the relay and long-distance runs. In addition the Friends of West Lane provided refreshments and raised some money for the school. Everybody appeared to have a great time as the weather stayed fine and the school is very grateful to everyone who helped in whatever way they could.
After everyone's score was totalled up the overall winners by a very narrow margin were the Samba sportsman from Brazil. For a full set of results see extended link.
