Soon approaching is The Billericay School’s sports day. I am looking forward to this event because I like to participate in as much sport as possible. Our sports day is a great way to get involved and get active because not only are you doing loads of fun activities, you’re doing it with your friends. Everyone participates along side by side with each other, working as a team. This sports day is everything you could ever want in a sports day and much more. The music in the background is up to date, and really good. Everyone sings and dances, it’s like a giant party where everyone has to do sport!
This year our school is doing sports day a bit differently. Instead of splitting the school into two different halves A and B, our PE department decided this does not give of the best vibes for the students thinking they are victimised into separate groups, and unable to enjoy the whole event. So this year they have decided to put the whole school all together. This I think will be a challenge for not just the students, but for all the members of staff as well.
In the morning we will have our first set of field events, but not athletic events. The events taking place will range from long jump, to bowels, badminton, 7 a side football, bench ball, high jump, rounders, and many more. After a set amount of time, there will be a break where all students can buy snacks and drinks. Students will obviously be acquired to bring bottles of water, but the school will let students buy drinks. Also for a very small cost of money you can get body parts painted with all sorts painted on you. This always goes down well with our school, and it always creates a lot of laughs. After the break there will be second lot of field events. So you will continue rounders, but any other event you will have to change, so you do more than one event. The events are a guarantee success! In the background there will be recent, up to date, dance music all the day. The songs will encourage the whole school to sing and dance, and all round have a good time. Each house will have a real feel good song, for each event that the house wins. Whenever someone from a certain house wins, a certain song will play and the whole house will celebrate crazily.
After the morning events, the students and teachers will be given an hour lunch break, where everyone will kick back and relax under the sun. Lunch will still have the music, and everyone will just have an amazing time. After lunch everyone will be on the bottom field. This is when we will start the athletic events such as 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m, girls relay, boys relay. These events will all be played as one whole school, and therefore the bottom field will be very cramped. This means it will either work really well, and everyone will have an amazing time, or it won’t work at all and hell will break loose. But with the right frame of mind, and everyone pulling there wait, and letting go the day will be a guarantee success!
I’m hoping this sports day will be the best our school has ever had, are you?
Nice one Lily. A positive attitude like this makes events shine whether they are totally successful or not.
