THOUSANDS of pupils from Bournemouth’s primary and infant schools took part in a three-day Festival of Sport.
The Echo-backed event was staged at Iford recreation ground, Oakmead School and Winton recreation ground.
Under-12s from 28 schools across the borough had the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities from rugby, basketball and football to archery, fishing and trampolining.
These pictures were taken when the festival kicked off on May 5, 2001, at Iford recreation ground with a packed programme of events.
Oakmead School hosted activities the following day and Winton recreation ground the day after that.
