Just when we thought our Commonweath Games Sports Day couldn't be topped, Mr Caddick and Mr Whitehouse knocked it out of the park on Friday 23rd June with a very special Harry Potter Sports Day Extravaganza. Instead of our usual house teams (Malvern, Clent, Wrekin and Beacon), children were in Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw for the day. Staff dressed up as characters from the books and went to town on the magical decorations around school. Even our races were adapted to fit with the stories, including broomstick racing, a magical creatures relay, an Escape from Azkaban obstacle course and a Quidditch pitch. Our spectacular opening ceremony included special performances from Mrs Sullivan's dance group and Kennedy's School of Dance troupe, as well as a parachute dance from our Pre School children and a performance from our fantastic school choir, led by Mrs Gullick. The children had a wonderful day and really got into the spirit of the Harry Potter theme. We even had tears of joy from the children as the overall winning team was announced - Slytherin! A huge thank you to parents and carers for coming to support the children and making it a truly fantastic atmosphere. What a magical day!
