Commonwealth Games 2022. Today, the children made up different invasion games and tried to demonstrate five core values to score points. The values were: include everyone, have fun, help other people, be a leader and be the best that you can be! The children were also given a country to represent. The winners in both classes were: Northern Ireland and Bermuda. Well done Year 2!
