Indoor sports for Sport Relief in 2010

Here is what one of our reporters wrote in our March, 26 edition in 2010.

“Children at Horsham’s St Mary’s School took on a series of challenges in aid of Sport Relief on Friday.

There were no outdoor activities, as had been planned but indoors there was a circuit of six challenges for them to take on - keeping the hula hoop spinning, a hockey course, skipping, balance, sit ups or push ups and a rugby relay.

‘With the bad weather, it was a smaller space than intended due to having to stay inside but they did brilliantly,’ said year 4 and PE teacher David Tombling, who organised the day.

‘They were puffed out by the end but had a great time.

‘The money’s still coming in but they raised a lot and have risen to the challenge set by Sport Relief and enjoyed themselves at the same time.’”
