Down Hall Primary School Sports Week
6th - 10th July 2020
Welcome to Down Hall Primary School’s Sports Week 2020
As we didn’t get our Sports Day this year, I have designed a week of sporting activities for children to take part in at home and in school.
If you would like to join in and represent your house, you will need to record your results on the Google form which is attached to each activity.
The scores will be collated and a winning house announced.
The slides will be updated each day.
Good luck and have fun!
