Prizes were donated by Cadbury in the Community & the
Somerset Special Schools Sports Association.
As the event organiser I
would also like to thank John of Gaunt School for providing the marshalls. It
was a cold, wet job, but without them the races would not have been possible.
Thankyou to Tony (George Ward SSCo) for planning the courses & organising
the finish.
Well done to all the WWSSP athletes

Boxercise FestivalThis year the festival for
the special units and Larkrise school featured cheerleading and boxercise on
Wednesday 18th November. Warminster School the independent secondary
school in Warminster allowed the Partnership to use their sports hall. Young
Leaders from Kingdown School lead all the events with great
enthusiasm. Proceedings started with a cheerleading warm up lead by
Katie Watson. Rachel Bown then introduced the boxercise with her usual panache.
With encouragement from the Young Leaders the children launched themselves into
the boxercise with great gusto.
