On 7th July, glorious sunshine greeted the Acle Academy students for an action packed day of sporting and athletic activities for Sports Day. The morning got off to a fantastic start with the throwing events taking place whilst other students remained in their forms discussing strategies and finalising competitors for competitions. Following these events, all students came out to the field for the main events. Despite the heat, all students gave 100% effort to try and help their house to become house champions. There were some wonderful team performances in the tug of war and relays, whilst individuals pushed themselves to the limit in the track and jumping events. The day was a huge success thanks to the students who competed and showed great encouragement for all participants, which is our aim and ethos every sports day. The day was summed up by Miss Jarvis who said, "Personally, I thought this was the best sports day ever - and I've been here since 2009!" The overall champions were Thurne with Ant in second, Bure in third and Yare in last position. Well done to all students for your participation and thanks to staff who ran events to make it a great day. Mr. Hurren
