Unfortunately this year we were unable to hold our usual Sports Day in school, instead we decided to hold a Virtual Sports Week with members of our staff setting different challenges for our boys! The Virtual Sports Week was a huge success with great effort and determination shown by all of our boys and their families! 😀
Take a look at our boys taking part in our Virtual Sports Week!

Tuesday Activity 2: Through the Gate with Ms Cahill!
You will need a ball ⚽and then some equipment to make goals or gates! 🥅
You can use anything you have at home to make these, in the video I used bottles, smaller balls and hurleys but anything you have at all is fine. You can make one goal or more- it is up to you!
I made three different sized goals to make it harder for me but again this is up to you! If you have someone at home to play with you could put the goals in between you both and kick the ball through it to each other!
Give yourself 1 point if you can kick it through! 🥇
