Around the World Challenge

For a number of students and staff, not having fixtures on a Saturday was a real frustration and not part of their normal routine. The P.E. department therefore wanted to give the Kingswood Community different challenges to focus on to channel their energy and to maintain their fitness.

The challenge that involved the most people was aiming to get ‘Around The World’. The target was 40,075 km and you could compete in any sport of your choice.

The P.E. department want to say a huge thank you to everyone who participated in this particular challenge and submitted so many individual responses. As a community we completed 40,075 km which is a huge distance in just five weeks.

In a lovely bit of symmetry, it was Mr J W Davies, who posted the very first entry, that also saw us across the finish line! We wanted to highlight the top ten students and staff shown in the tables opposite - some huge efforts. Well done.

...we completed 40,075kms... in just five weeks.

When we returned to school it was fantastic to have internal sport and compete against our own year groups, enjoying different sports, House competitions and a little bit of rivalry! As we moved to playing in our Bath bubble we enjoyed playing different sports and consolidating the skills we had learnt. To see students playing amongst their peers and enjoying friendlies in a competitive environment was fantastic.

PUPIL FEEDBACK

‘I enjoyed being part of the ‘Around the World’ Challenge as it motivated me to go out running and walking every day. It was fun to see what activities others were doing in lockdown and was a bit of friendly competition.’ Emily Hersch, Year 10

‘I would say the challenge gave me something to do and made me get outside for exercise more. It also helped to take my mind off home learning and meant that I had something else to do other than looking at a screen.’ Will Cory, Year 10

‘The Lockdown Challenge gave us a structure to each day when we had long hours online and motivated us to get out and exercise whatever the weather. It inspired a friendly, family competition and our dog Bonnie had a lot of walks!’

Grace and Emily Ardus, Year 12
