On December the 19th, the Golden NS Active School Committee organised a Christmas themed Sports Day.
We split the day into two parts: Games for Infants to 2nd class and Games for 3rd to 6th class.
We had lots of different stations for each level and we put groups of children at every station. To get us in the Christmas mood, we had Christmas tunes playing, as Ms O'Brien and Ms Ryan told us when to move to each new station.
The stations for the younger classes were organised and run by the ASF committee, Ms O'Brien, Ms Kelly, Ms Corbett and Ms O'Neill;
- Rudolph Races (we pulled ourselves along on our tummies while we used our noses to move a red bauble over the finish line)
- Bauble and Spoon races
- Penguin Waddle *(a waddle race carrying a balloon between your knees)
- Gift Stacking Races
- Santa Sack Race
- SANTA (a throwing game like DONKEY)
The older members of the ASF committee were taking part while the younger members went home. So we enlisted the help of Golden Parents (Katherine Finn, Michelle Tierney, Claire Molumby and Marie Forde) to assist the teachers with the following stations for the older classes;
- Snowman's Head Races (we pulled ourselves along on our tummies while we used our noses to move a football over the finish line)
- Bauble and Spoon races
- Tinsel-Legged Race
- Poop the Parcel (a race to carry a present between your legs and drop it into the box)
- Gift Stacking Races
- Santa's Boot-camp Obstacle Race
- Wreath toss (using hula hoops)
- Penguin Waddle*
