National Girls Football Day
We celebrate National Girls Football Day to inspire Girls to join the sport!
To celebrate it being a Leap Year, we decided to raise money by leaping the week away during the 26th February – 1st March 2024!
Each child completed a series of challenges which included:
ü Hopscotch ü Leaping like a frog ü Bouncing like a bunny ü Hopping on one leg ü Hurdling obstacles ü Reaching for the stars
We raised £100 to spend on P.E. equipment for our children - well done to everyone who took part and thank you to parents for donating!
