Sports day

This morning was Elizabeth's school sports day. It was for the pre-reception and reception age children only. They were put into teams (red, white and blue) and all participated in five different races. Some were individual and some were team races: egg and spoon; shopping; bean bag; dressing up, and buggy.

It was great fun with lots of gentle encouragement (and help) from staff and the year 6 prefects and all over by 9am. The PTA provided refreshment with contributions from parents, including a rather solid fruit cake baked by yours truly.

Elizabeth sadly dropped her "egg" early on in her race and came a lonely third but redeemed herself by winning the shopping race by a nose. She was chuffed! She carried the bean bag expertly (probably aided by her hat) but was clearly let down by her slower team mates. The dressing up race was great fun. They had to don a scarf, hat and a shirt. Somehow Elizabeth managed to put a hat on over the one she was already wearing. If the buggy race had not already been lost it certainly was when Elizabeth decided that she had to spend valuable time getting "baby" comfortable before proceeding!
