Today was Sports Day here at Cart Mill! Excitement has been building over the last couple of weeks and we have all been practicing our favourite races!
It was very exciting to arrive at our sports area and see all our races set up by Chris, our Active Schools Co-ordinator. Off we set to our first race. After a quick run down of what we needed to do it was time to ready, steady, GO!!!
We ran and jumped over the hurdles and then ran back to the start to see who could finish first! It was so much fun that our families wanted to join in too! (Well done mums!)
Next up was our obstacle course. We had to run up to the hula hoop, hop or star jump and then see if we could walk balancing a beanbag on our heads! It was a wee bit tricky but we took our time and demonstrated some fabulous balancing skills!
It was time for our flat race next! Some of us were a wee bit excited and forgot to wait for the ready, steady Go. With a bit of practice, we soon got the hang of it! Who do you think was fastest!
Our final race was the egg and spoon race. We are very imaginative here at Cart Mill, so we decided to have our own version, the tangerine and spoon race!
Of course what better way to round up sports day than our super duper water slide!
It was so much fun to take turns sliding super fast down our slide. We discovered if Val gave us a wee helping hand, we went even faster! And more bubbles appeared the faster we went (there’s definitely a science experiment in there somewhere!).
After all the fun it was time to head back inside for a quick change, ice pole and to receive our certificates. We truly are sporting super stars!
A huge thank you to staff, Chris from Active Schools and to our fabulous families and children for making it such a memorable event.
