As a family you may choose to complete the events in 1 day or you can spread them across the week. Like any other sports day, your child/children will be earning points for their house (Ash, Beech, Chestnut and Oak) and they will be competing against all the other houses to see who will be crowned winners of Willowbank School Sports Day 2020.

Congratulations to all the children who took part in the Devon Virtual School 'Run, Jog, Walk' Challenge and 'Sports Hall Pentathlon' . It's great to see Willowbank entering county competitions. 

Devon Summer School Virtual Games

 

Active Devon and the School Games Organisers are hosting the Devon Summer School Games with a twist!

 

All competitions are virtual, and you can enter as many of them as you like. The competitions are suitable to do at home, in your backyard or garden or at school. They give you the chance to virtually team up with your classmates, represent your school and compete against other children from across Devon!

The #DevonVirtualGames will run from the 18th May 2020 – 13th July 2020 with six different events for you to enter. Individuals will be able to submit their entries via an online link. The last additional event will be a set of family-based challenges which will run throughout the summer holidays. Every Monday at 10am throughout June we will post a new competition for you to get involved in. Each competition will be open for a limited amount of time. 

There will be medals, certificates, and prize categories for each event. All entries will also be included into a prize draw for the chance to win some great prizes, plus the school with the highest percentage of their pupils taking part will also win a prize, so make sure you tell your friends from school to get involved too!

 

Below is a timetable of events. 

Event 6 - Andy Murray 100 Volley Challenge 

 

This competition is all about tennis volleys. The challenge has been set by Andy Murray himself - check out Andy and his wife demonstrating how it’s done here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-J2bUhuzsg. 

 

 

Event 5 - Create a 7th Spirit of the Games Value for Devon

 

The School Games and #DevonVirtualGames is about creating a positive and rewarding experience for all, and bringing together sport, culture and education.  Competition really explores our personal values and how we behave. We learn how to handle victory, defeat and adversity. We learn how to put ourselves to the test, and how to respect opponents and work with others to achieve success.   
 
Your Creative Challenge: Create a new 7th Spirit of the Games Value for Devon and explain its meaning.

 

For Your Information, the Existing 6 Spirit of the Games Values Are: 

Determination: Keep going no matter what. Determination is about the journey you go on to push yourself and achieve your dreams to become the very best you can be. Don’t hold back!

Honesty: With others and with yourself. Have the courage to do the right thing. Be truthful and promote fairness in every situation.    

Passion: Giving it 100%, putting your heart and soul into whatever you are doing and never giving up. Caring about what you do and the people around you and approach each opportunity with enthusiasm and positivity.    

Respect: Treating others politely and with understanding. Accepting life’s ‘ups and downs’ with grace. Respecting every day, in everything you do and for everyone around you.  

Self-Belief: You’ve got to believe to achieve. Have the self- assurance and confidence to succeed and reach your personal best.    

Teamwork: Treat everyone equally, support each other and work together to have fun and achieve your potential. Celebrate each other’s success. Be a good friend and a positive team player in school, sport and life.  
 

Event 4 - Boccia – Sock-ia

 

Sock-ia is the same as boccia however you use socks instead of boccia balls. This game can be played individually or with other family members in your household.

 

Before You Start:
You need to create a space and have access to either the score sheet below or you can create your own. You will need plenty of balls of socks (at least five per player), ideally each player has a different colour as well as one brightly coloured sock to be used as the target sock. 

 

Rules for the Event:
One player throws the bright coloured sock, this is the target sock. Then each player takes it in turns to throw their own sock as close to the target sock as possible. Once all the socks have been thrown the player who gets their sock the closest to the target sock is the winner. 
 

Event 3 - Dance 

This event gives you the chance to have some fun creating your own dance routine to the song ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weekend. Your routine will have to be no longer than 1 minutes in duration, but you can use any style of dance you like. If we have adequate entries and permissions allow, we will be editing clips of all the entries to create a dance video routine to thank all key workers for their hard work. This is a chance to get your best dance moves out and show them off, but most importantly have fun! 

Before You Start:
Listen to the song ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weekend and pick the section of the song you want to dance to.  

How to Complete the Event:
Create your own routine either on your own or with people from your household (parents are allowed to participate) to our chosen song and once you are happy ask someone in your household to record your masterpiece and send it in to us! Get creative with props and costumes if you like. 

 

Rules for the Event:
Make sure your routine is no longer that 1 minutes. The only song to be used is ‘Blinding Lights’ by The Weekend. At some point during your amazing routine, please can you hold up a rainbow. You can colour/ draw/ paint one, whatever you fancy this will be used to create a video of everyone’s routines to say thank you to key workers.   

  

How to Score:  
Once all the entries are in, we will watch your amazing routines and score out of 10 for each category (total 60 points): 
• Choreography

• Energy

• Use of space

• Use of levels  

• Incorporation of rainbow

• Overall performance
