Help Clockhouse take part in the first London Youth Games - Virtual Games - Week 2 - Day 3

Dear Parents / Carers,

Today's London Youth Games Virtual Games challenge is made extra special as it comes from a former pupil and Clockhouse Sports Girl of the Year - Gracie! Gracie excelled at sport in her time at Clockhouse and continues to shine at Bower Park where she has now been selected in the Totenham girls football team.

Please support the school, the local community, and our borough of Havering as we continue to battle to make the top 10! Please share your challenge videos or comments on how you have been getting on! If you haven't started yet its not too late.

Today's challenge from team Havering is one for all you football fans, I know there is a lot of you so give it a go! The Challenge Video for today has been released on the London Youth Games website here is the link:

The LYG Virtual Games are open to all children & young people from London, who will compete across the twelve different challenges to earn points for their Boroughs. You do not need to be a footballer to complete the football challenge or a netballer to complete the netball challenge. All the challenges will come with suggested adaptations for space, equipment and ability to ensure they are as inclusive as possible. A leaderboard with the latest Borough standings will be updated every week, and after the final challenge, the winning Borough will be crowned the first ever LYG Virtual Games champions. Come on you Havering Hurricanes!!!

Individual prizes are also up for grabs. Parents are encouraged to share videos of their challenge attempts on social media using the hashtag #ThisIsLYG to be in with a chance of winning the weekly MVP (Most Valuable Player) award, the lucky winner will receive a pair of Nike trainers. It would be great to see the #OurClockhouseFamily hashtag too! We would really like to see some of your attempts on the school social media pages & also on the London Youth Games social media platforms.

Also please find attached a challenge sheet explaining how to do today's activitiy and ways of changing the activity to meet everyones needs! I never was good at kick ups but ingave it a go and got 27, bot quite as good as Gracie, but every little helps the Havering Hurricanes.

A new challenge will be sent next week. So keep up the hard work Clockhouse lets do our bit for Team Havering. We hope to see young Londoners coming together and backing the borough of Havering to become the first ever LYG Virtual Games champions!
