At Abbeywood we are well aware that being active is one of the most important things you can do for your health and wellbeing. Please find below some information and a wonderful link from Sports Partnership Herefordshire and Worcestershire:

Just 10 minutes of physical activity per day can benefit your physical and mental health.

We understand that Covid-19, or Coronavirus, raises concerns around being active, particularly within sport and physical activity environments and facilities. However, there has never been a more important time to remain active, for positive mental wellbeing and physical health.

There are plenty of ways that you can get active around the home. You don't need specialist gym equipment, stairs, chairs and household objects could be used to create your own indoor circuit class.

After running, jogging and walking all week long our children at Abbeywood have celebrated their hard work by having a ‘get your kit on day!’ We wore sporty clothes and donated money towards sports relief.

Each day (completing our marathon a day challenge), as a school, we covered 143 miles. Our total for the week is an unbelievable 572 miles! This distance is about 7 times as long as Hadrian’s Wall, and is twice as long as the total length of the Grand Canyon in the USA! An absolutely amazing effort from all the children!

As a finale to our learning on hockey this half term in Year 4 we held an inter-team competition. The children competed in skills and match scenarios with great technique and enthusiasm! It was also lovely to see sportsmanship and respect shown throughout the competition. The results are as follows:

Yellow team: 110 points

Green team: 92 points

Red team: 71 points

Blue team: 59 points

Congratulations Yellow Team!

On Wednesday 9th October a group of pupils from Abbeywood took part in an amazing sporting festival held at Arrow Vale High School. Our pupils competed at archery, kurling and boccia. They had a fantastic time, showed sportsmanship and loved trying some new, exciting sports!

Another great sporting year at our school! We are delighted to announce that we, Abbeywood First School have achieved the School Games Silver Mark Award for the 2018/19 academic year.

The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.

Many thanks to everyone who participated in any events throughout the year. Our goal is 'gold' for this year!
