A fantastic event , enjoyed by all, including the year 6 themselves, who
played a festival of tag rugby games, with 30 teams made up of pupils from different schools. children developed their skills
while meeting new friend, who may just be their class mate in September when they become Year 7!

Thai staff and students from South Dartmoor's link school Satriwithaya in Bangkok visited four of our Primary
Schools to demonstrate their dance, music and culture. Mr Dinnie, Director of Sport & Health and part of the Dreams

watched attentively while the 11 Thai students delivered their dances in their colourful costumes. There was then the
opportunity for the children to ask questions about the Thai students lives and Thailand culture.
The four schools visited were:-
Bovey Tracey, Widecombe, St Catherine's and Ilsington.

Community Sports Leadership Award - 22nd November 07
The sixth formers studying their Level 2 in Community Sports Leadership
Award were put under their first big challenge this week when they led Year 2 mini festivals at three different host primary
schools. Each morning consisted of about 75 Year 2 children rotating around five activity stations led by the sixth form leaders.
I was amazed by the sixth formers mature attitude and high
quality leadership skills - they really did themselves and SDCC proud! Many of the staff and parents commented on how good
they were with the children. They progressed their skills and adapted to many different scenarios on each day.
The students were: Louise
A, Katie L, Adam W, James S, Stuart C, Jackie G, Lewis H, Ollie S, Malcolm L & Jess C.
It’s been a great week for their confidence in being a sports
leader and has really helped them in this award.

Gymnastics Festival - Wednesday 13th February 2008
Following the fantastic
success of the young leader’s gymnastics course, their skills were put to the test as pupils from Year 4 arrived at
South Dartmoor Community College for a Gymnastics festival. The pupils participated in a rotation of gymnastics activities,
including stations focusing on balancing skills, jumping, rolling, paired work, as well as a well earned rest. All the year
4 pupils have a wonderful time showing progress with their gymnastics skills, with the young leaders doing an equally wonderful
job, preparing them for the tournaments to follow.
