The organisation hopes to inspire youngsters to take up sport early so they maintain their interest in later life, setting them up for a healthy future.
An activities assistant from Fit for Sport said: "At the end of the day, it's important to keep the future generations fit and for them to have an interest in sport.
"If we get them interested in sport when they're younger, hopefully they'll keep it up when they're older."
Over the summer, the children have taken part in a variety of activities, from sports like rounders, football and hockey, to arts and crafts and parachute games.
Each week has had a theme around which activities are based and the children have taken part in at least one sport a day.
