Help Clockhouse take part in the first London Youth Games - Virtual Games - Week 3 - Day 1

Dear Parents / Carers,

Today is the start of the final week of London Youth Games Virtual Games challenge.

Havering slip to 14th, so come on let's 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 have not started yet it is not too late.

Today the challenge is one for all you movers and shakers with a dance theme. 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 and 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. Last weeks winner was a pupil from Havering so lets see if we can ger another winner this week! 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 & ways of changing the activity to meet everyones needs! Anybody that knows me will know I have 2 left feet & I'm a rubbish dancer, maybe I should of gone on Tic Toc during lockdown instead of working from home? But I got some points for the Havering Hurricanes just for having a go, so if you are a great dancer getting ready for Strictly or have the moves like Yarrow give it a try this is a easy way to earn some points.

A new challenge will be sent tomorrow. So keep up the hard work Clockhouse and let's 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!
