During this term, classes in school would normally be practising for our annual Sports Day. Sadly, we cannot do that this year, however we still hope to have lots of fun and have instead entered the Healthy Kidz Virtual Sports Day. This is a fun event that all pupils can enter, and full details can be found by visiting
https://healthy-kidz.com/hk-virtual-sports-day.
You simply need to register using the link above and then download the free Healthy Kidz app and register as a pupil at Victoria Primary School, Ballyhalbert. (Before 6pm on 11th May) Unfortunately as we only received notification late on 11th May some pupils may have missed registration. Please do not worry if you have, you can still join in with the weekly activities and challenges and send your scores, times and progress to your teacher on Seesaw.
This is a great opportunity to promote a heathy lifestyle in a fun and enjoyable way. We’d love to see photos of our pupils taking part and share them on our school website. If you have any photos, you would like to share, please email them to school.
Over the following weeks we will be practising a number of different events with useful coaching tips and preparation advice. Once you’ve given each of the 7 events a go, you can pick your 5 favourites and complete them on Saturday 13th June, recording your results in the Healthy Kidz App (if you registered) or by sending your results to your class teacher.
We will be focusing on the following events over the coming weeks:
Week 1 (11th May) Sprint and Long Jump
Week 2 (18th May) High Jump and Egg and Spoon
Week 3 (25th May) Welly Boot Toss and Superstrong Challenge
Week 4 (1st June) Marathon Challenge and Create your own obstacle course
Week 5 (8th June) Pick your best 5 events and work on each one before Sports Day
Guidance on each event can be downloaded using the following link.

We love our annual Sports Day and are sad to be missing it this year. However, we hope you enjoy this opportunity to still have fun at home with your family and enjoy time competing, having fun and keeping active.
