Sports Day

21st June - 

It was a bright and sunny day today, I was very excited as it was our sports day, I had been practising my skipping and and running for a long time at school so hopefully I will come first.

My Papa wasn't able to come to the race day but Mummy did and she was very happy to see me take part.

There were a lot of different tyres of activities at school:

1) Spoon & potato race

2) Sack & Frog Jumps race

3) Javelin throw
4) Kick balls through the goal
5) Water Race

and many more.

Mrs Patel showed me where to start one of the races from.  It was a lot of fun and I got to race and play with all of my school friends.

At one point I began to get upset and cry because I couldn't do the spoon and potato race properly.  The potato kept falling down and I started crying a lot.  Mrs Patel calmed me down and we moved onto the next race before I had time to dry my tears.  I could hear my Mummy cheering me on and this gave me encouragement to carry on with the other activities.

The parents had a Spoon and potato race at the end of the day.  First all the fathers took part and then all the mothers took part.  My Mummy was running really fast but she kept dropping the potato, but she managed not to finish last which was a good thing. 

At the end I came second in the races. I was a little upset at first but Mummy said it didn't matter as I did really well and as long as I had fun then that's what really matters.  My Papa was really proud of me and he gave me a big hug and a kiss.
