KINGSWOOD IN FOCUS 2020-21 | SPORT
SPORT WELL, IT’S BEEN A LITTLE STRANGE THIS YEAR... ...but we’ve managed to keep going; We tried to keep our fitness up with running, cycling, rowing. First we clapped for charity, then we raced around the globe; Then we ‘Beat the Parents’, clocking up miles on the road. We came back in September and we hoped for normal sport; But very soon we realised it wasn’t as we thought. No fixtures? Now we realised we might be in some trouble; But then we got things going in our separate year group bubbles. 400 plus on each weekend playing sport at the Upper; Seven sessions back to back, not even time for a cuppa! We came back after Christmas, full of sporting hopes and dreams; But a January lockdown saw Games go on Teams. ‘Fun’ Fitness, ball skills, ‘Sally-Up’ and Mr Reeman’s 3 hour plank! As bedrooms turned to sports halls, it’s the parents we should thank! This threw up many challenges, as dogs ran off with balls; Light fittings were broken and equipment marked the walls! March saw a return to school, an end to the ‘Virtual’ theme; But first you had to get past an unusual testing team! But typical of the Kingswood kids who just got on with it; Jack didn’t even bother to take off his keeping kit! Summer started with excitement - playing matches once again; We thought we’d got through Covid, but then we got the rain. But now we’ve made it to the end, this year we will remember; Now keep fit in the holidays, we’ve got KES in September!
