1 Summer Edition 2016 SportZone The PE and Sports Magazine for Jack Hunt Cluster s Rio Themed Legacy Festival 2016 Year 6 Legacy Festival: Now in its 7 th Year, the Legacy festival is a celebration of school sport, which include 8 Olympic and Paralympic activities, including; Tag Rugby, Athletics, Handball, Rowing, Archery, Goalball, Boccia and Cycling. Students from year 6 who are due to attend Jack Hunt in September compete against other primary schools from within the cluster. Unfortunately the weather was not in the Rio spirit of things. The festival, attended by over 350 students didn t start well, with rain during the opening ceremony. The weather did clear up a little which allowed for around an hours-worth of activities but conditions deteriorated resulting in playing surfaces becoming un safe, bringing an early end to the day. There was enough time to get some results from the activities, which are later in the magazine. Well done to everyone who took part in these events and also all of the Higher Sports Leaders who took the time to plan, organise and run these activities.

3 Legacy Torch Tour 2016 Year 5/6 Legacy Torch Tour: Once SAT s test were complete it was time to launch the Legacy Torch Tour competition. Now in its second year, schools from across the cluster are encouraged to design and make Olympic and Paralympic Torches that represent both the Olympic values and incorporate their schools values in some way. This year we received our highest amount of entries. The judges had a difficult task in deciding on a winner. The winning Torch came from All Saints Primary. On the completion of this challenge, the torch then began its journey around all of the primary schools over a 2 week period, during this time year 6 pupils had the opportunity to take part in Boccia and Goalball. Two extremely popular and fun activities. These activities were led by Year 9 and 10 sports Leaders from Jack Hunt. The winning Torch came from All Saints Primary. Well done to everyone who took part.

4 Primary Sports Days Sports Leaders, Primary Sports Days: During the busy summer term all schools run at least a day of sports for the students in their schools. This year we have seen the busiest sports day programme with over 24 days of activities organised by the 9 primary schools. A fantastic achievement. With this comes the leadership volunteering from the year 9 and 10 students from Jack Hunt. Students in years 9 and 10 spend part of their PE curriculum studying units of work to develop their leadership, organisational, communication and teamwork skills to prepare them to assist with the primary school sports days. Below are some comments from primary staff and parents Claire Miller Longthorpe Primary PE Coordinator Can I also say how fab the year 12 sports leaders were today? They were all so helpful and totally involved with our kids and leading their activities. However, special mention has to go to Josh Bookal - he was brilliant. The kids loved him, he explained everything brilliantly and if he hadn't been with the other sports leaders I would have thought he was a PE teacher. He was flexible and moved between sports activities when they were short of leaders. Best sports leader there by miles. He deserves some kind of award or recognition. Mrs Jeffries Harris Longthorpe Primary, EYFS Teacher Your sports leaders yesterday were fabulous, lots of positive feedback from staff and the parents. Thank you Janette Jarvis Highlees Primary PE/Sports Coach I'm just ing to say that the 14 sports leaders that were at Highlees today were amazing, couldn't do anything more to help! The teachers were saying how well-mannered and helpful they all were and it was a delight to help them. So thanks :) Charlotte Duell Ravensthorpe Primary PE Coordinator Thank you very much for organising today. The class teacher in Y6 said the students did a great job in explaining the rules of the game, promoting positive attitudes, and made the morning fun for the children. Mr David Mann Parent of child at Ravensthorpe Primary I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how proud you should be of your young sports leaders who helped out with Ravensthorpe s sports day today. Their enthusiasm and good behaviour were infectious for the primary children and their organisation was also excellent. They are a credit to the school. A huge Thank You and Well Done to all Jack Hunt Sports Leaders who kindly volunteered their time, you were wonderful.
