Despite gloomy skies, the annual Truro School Pre-Prep Sports Day took place this week, showcasing the energy and spirit of our youngest pupils from Nursery through to Year 2.
The afternoon was a celebration of all that Truro School Sport stands for: participation, teamwork, and courage. From the moment the opening races began, the field was filled with laughter, encouragement, and shining examples of sportsmanship from children as young as three.
Events ranged from traditional sprints and obstacle courses to the ever-popular egg and spoon race. Every child took part with enthusiasm, courage, and confidence. The focus, as ever with sport at Truro School, was on the act of taking part, trying something new, and doing one’s best.
At Truro School, we believe that sport is more than just physical activity. It is a vehicle for learning vital life skills. Our Pre-Prep Sports Day reflected this ethos perfectly. With our incredible Year 5 helpers supporting, our children learned to cheer one another on and show resilience when things didn’t go to plan. The laughter, high-fives, and shared determination across the field were a testament to the value of these experiences.
Well done to all of our Pre-Prep champions and a huge thanks to Mrs Egford and all of the staff, helpers and supporters who made the afternoon so special.
