I took the day off to celebrate Sports Day at the school today.
This year’s sports’ day had an Olympic theme. Each team was given a country to represent: Brazil, Great Britain, Iceland, Jamaica, Greece and Botswana (?) The teams were made up of mixed ages and each child could win points for their team by getting a Bronze, Silver or Gold. Events ranged from the missile throw, standing jump to a classic sprint.
At the end, there was a team challenge that involved guttering. Yes, that classic Olympic sport – the gutter distance challenge. This involved using several different lengths of guttering to transport a tennis ball for as far as possible without it hitting the ground. It was a brilliant demonstration of teamwork and kept us all entertained.
The morning ended with a family picnic and the award of a trophy and medals to the winning team of Jamaica – well done to those guys!
