Picture the scene. It's a red hot day and you are trying your best in the school sack race.
Yes, it's sports day time and doesn't it just bring back memories of your pals cheering you on from the side lines as you ran the relay, did your best with an egg and spoon, or leapt as far as you could for the long jump.
This week is National School Sport Week. Its aim is to get all children exercising for at least 60 minutes a day.
So let's shape up with some inspiration from the Echo archives as we head to Carley Hill, Pallion, Bexhill, Sunderland High and Bernard Gilpin.
