Students at IES Hässelby Strand enjoy winter sports day

Students recently took part in a vibrant winter sports day, braving the cold to enjoy skiing, sledding, and various indoor sports across all year levels.

The annual winter sports day at IES Hässelby Strand was a great success, even with the biting cold temperatures. Students from Years  4-9 participated in a range of activities designed to promote physical education and health (PE) while fostering a strong school spirit.

Year 9 students travelled to the slopes for a day of skiing, while students in other year groups enjoyed a variety of local options. Whether outdoors in the snow or inside the sports hall, the atmosphere was fun and safe.

Here are some of the highlights from the day:

• Winter sports day skiing: Our year nine students spent the day on the slopes, practicing their technique and enjoying the fresh air.

• Outdoor fun: Younger students made the most of the weather with sledding sessions.

• Indoor activities: For the rest of the students, the school organised badminton, bowling, and table tennis.

The students enjoyed themselves a lot, showing great resilience and sportsmanship throughout the day.
