Paris Olympics theme sees West Norfolk schoolchildren get active

Eight school groups attended the first of the summer Active Kids festivals hosted at Alive Lynnsport.

The theme for this festival was the Paris Olympics and activity stations revolved around sports that students will be able to watch and support in the summer.

These were: hockey, football, badminton, tennis, athletics and volleyball.

The festival was supported by sports leaders from Springwood High School who spent short bursts of time introducing KS1 students to their activities.

The Active Kids programme is designed to upskill staff attending and introduce KS1 students to activities they can then replicate back at school or take up at a local club following the Inspire a Generation mantra.

Schools taking part in this first festival were: North Wootton Academy, Sandringham and West Newton, Flitcham, Whitefriars, Fairstead, Holly Meadows and Greyfriars.
