This week the children have been enjoying sports week. We have been participating in many different sports activities both in the garden and out on the grass! Thankfully the weather has been kind to us so far! The children have been showing their competitive sides and throwing themselves into the races!
One of their favourite races has definitely been the sack race! We are so impressed at how good the children have been at this showing off their fantastic balance and coordination skills!
The egg and spoon race (using bean bags) was great fun, Some of the children managed the whole race without dropping it, especially the ones that were holding it on!!! We also ran balancing the bean bags on our heads! This was tricky but the children showed great perseverance to get to the end!
Throwing the rings on to the cones proved to be very popular! The children enjoyed this game and really tried their best to get all the rings over!
We have some really good jumpers at Cart Mill so the long jump was very successful. The children ran up to the rope and jumped as far as they could landing on two feet! The action photos show how much fun this was!
The good old running race is definitely still a favourite! The children just love to run anywhere and everywhere! We had races in the garden and out on the grass and the children particularly enjoyed running down the hill!
Sports fun will continue for the rest of this week. I think we may have some future Olympians or maybe the next Usain Bolt here at Cart Mill!
