Olympic Week  We had a really exciting Olympic Week and Mark (Olympic and PE Coordinator) and I would like to thank all the teachers for their contribution to such a successful week. The Olympic team of Mark, Ian, Chloe, Deniece, Priya, Paul and Pauline made it a week to remember for the school.  The Cranbrook Emissaries had a few words to say about Sports Day and the Closing Ceremony.
“At Sports Day I loved the variety of games that we played but I definitely needed my rest at the rest station.” Allay Rasul (Year 5 Red).
“I loved the shot put and the final sprint where I came second in the Year 5 and 6 race!” Chukwudi Okquone (5 Green).
“I really enjoyed the classes’ dance and they represented their chosen countries really well” Jordain Jhagroo-Bryan (4 Yellow).
“I loved the final KS1 and 2 song where we all sung together and the lighting of the Olympic Torch” Mariam Ghaloo (4 Green).
I am sure you will all agree it was a great week!
