We had hoped for glorious sunshine but made do with a cloudy day with just a few showers for our annual Leswalt Primary Sports Day.
Mr Brawls and his band of helpers got all equipment moved over to the village park, the pupils got their sporty togs on and we were go, go, go!
The boys and girls enjoyed a fun afternoon of Sports, having their very best shot at every race and cheering on their friends. Not even the occasional shower was able to dampen their enthusiastic mood. True sportsmanship.
After participating in the flat race, sack, egg and spoon, skipping, obstacle, distance and a hotly contested throwing competition, the boys and girls encouraged their mummies and daddies to try out the obstacle course. Six brave daddies gave it a shot and so many mummies were keen to have a go that we needed to run this over two races! Much excitement from the children shouting their parents on! Finally, the pre-schoolers took part in the flat race.
Teamwork got every last piece of sports equipment back to school and the boys and girls rounded off a fun afternoon by enjoying a tub of ice-cream provided by Gillian from Leswalt Stores. Who needed the sun anyway?!
