A Year in the Sports Department

SPORT

...but we’ve managed to keep going; We tried to keep our fi tness 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 fi xtures? 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 fi ttings were broken and equipment marked the walls!

March saw a return to school, an end to the ‘Virtual’ theme; But fi rst 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.
