Sports Day at Stratford is always fun. This year's Sports Day on Thursday, 7th May, was a really great day. The sun shone for most of it, everyone was in good humour, the music was good and the competition keen.

This year's Sports Day - Thursday, 7th May - was a gloriously sunny day, which slotted between days of torrential rain. Everyone was delighted, none more so than Ms. Finnegan and her group of helpers. The Sports Day timetable and teams were posted a week in advance, so that everyone knew what they had to do on the day. What a busy day for all concerned - Junior and Senior Basketball, Junior and Senior Soccer, 3-legged races for all years, Junior and Senior Sprints, Junior and Senior Tug-of-War, as well as the obstacle course and the sumo wrestling. Thank you very much Ms. Finnegan for a fantastic sporting day!

It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
