Chippenham games
On Wednesday Y6 went to Stanley Park to take part in the Chippenham Games event. At Stanley park we played games that are related to sports as part of our sporting week. Some of the activities we did were: orienteering, lazer shooting, a fitness course and even indo boarding (surfing without water). We all participated in a fun dance at the end and we also got face paints and did a lap around the field which included army crawl walking or running backwards and hopping. Overall the Y6 enjoyed it and had a lot of fun.
