Lord Lawson PE Creation Day 2008
The whole of Lord Lawson took part in a Africa/Asia theme creation day on Tuesday 15th July.
All departments did different activities. The PE department offered Sumo Wrestling (Asia) and hunting and tribal dance (Africa) to year 8 and 9 pupils.
In the Sumo Wrestling activity pupils were shown different rules and moves and were able to take part in an adapted competition.
In the hunting and tribal dance activity pupils had to try and hit projected animals on the sportshall wall with javelins and the winning trible won stripes and hot dogs. After pupils participated in a tribal victory dance.
The day was a huge success, well done to all involved!

Lord Lawson PE Reward Assembly 2008
During "National Sport Week" the PE department at Lord Lawson thought that having an assembly rewarding pupils for their sporting success over the year would be perfect timing.
Over the week all years had their own assembly where there was a 5 minute picture and video showing of what has happened over the year and any achievements.
Pupils were also rewarded with certificates for their effort in lessons, extra-curricular and inter-house competitions.
The assemblies went down a storm in the school with both pupils and staff. This will now be an annual event! Well done the PE department!

Transition Multi-Skills Challenge 2008
The first ever transition multi-skills challenge took place in transition week.
All year 6 pupils took part and represented their house block.
Year 10 GCSE and BTEC pupils ran the event and did this very well. They should be congratulated for their effort. This event ran so well because of them.
The winning houseblock was Fleet.
The success of this means this is going to be an annual transition event with a shield up for grabs.
