Atherstone, Warwickshire - The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the laughter of children filled the air as Banana Moon Baddesley Ensor hosted its  Sports Day event. It was a day marked by the spirit of friendly competition and the joy of physical activity.

From the classic egg-and-spoon race to the exhilarating obstacle course, each event was designed to cater to the abilities of young children, encouraging them to explore their physical capabilities in a safe and supportive environment. They may have had a helping hand with a bit of blu-tac on the bottom of the egg but we're not judging!! 

One of the highlights was the 'Baby Dash,' where the youngest participants, with determination in their tiny steps, made their way across the finish line amidst applause. It was a heart-warming sight that captured the essence of the day: it's not about winning, but about taking part and doing one's best.

Our older children enjoyed watching their peers take part from the embankment whilst cheering and shouting words of encouragement to those who needed it. Families joined us to cheer on the little ones too.  

The Sports Day was more than just a series of races; it was a celebration of health, inclusivity, and community spirit. It provided an opportunity for children to learn valuable lessons in sportsmanship, perseverance, and the importance of physical fitness from an early age.

As the day drew to a close, each child received a sticker and certificate, a symbol of their participation and the memories they created. The event was a resounding success, leaving children and parents alike looking forward to next year's Sports Day with great anticipation.
