School Sports Day

Sports day at St. Thomas's school is very competitive. All children have to run in heats to see if they can make it to the sprint final on sports day itself. Theo came forth in his heat so missed the chance to run in the final. Yasmin won her heat and made her way to the final with ease. There were a number of events from long jump and discus through to the traditional sack race and sprints. It was really good to see the children doing their best and having a fun time even when they didn't win. Everyone is rewarded for their efforts, but the winners get a certificate. A great day!



Yasmin learns the correct stance for throwing the discus which is actually a frisby in this case.



Theo is ready to do his best as Miss Harrison (Yasmin's class 19 teacher) looks on.



Theo runs his heart out during the relay.



Yasmin looking very relaxed having won her sprint final. She is now the fastest six year old in the school. Congratulations and well done!!!
