- Guess the number of sweets in a jar
- Dance mats
- Physical challenges
- Throw a sponge and soak a teacher
- FIFA Playstation knockout tournament
- Quiz
- Staff versus pupils playing badminton
- Staff versus pupils at an almighty tug of war

They should all be so proud of their efforts and what they have achieved. THANK YOU!”
