Last week the school held their Athletics Day. To us in America, this is Track and Field. The kids learned the art of doing the High Jump, Long Jump, and Javelin. They ran hurdles, sprints and middle distance. This one day event was spread out a bit more due to heavy rains. But what troopers these kids are, standing and running or cheering their classmates on in the rain.
Primary grades (Prek, K &1) stretching!
Bailey's division (Senior girls, 11 years+) had only 4 girls in it. 2 11 year olds and 2 14 year olds.

Carter's division (7-9 year old boys) was probably the largest. So as hard as he tried, Carter couldn't keep up with the quick legs of the Ghanaians. He did fantastic at long jump though.

Regan's division (5-6 year old girls) was close. Regan did awesome and has her fathers athletic abilities I think.

Regan, check out the eyes. She was constantly watching where her competition was!

Unfortunately I don't have photo's to show my agility in the sack race, pony ride (skipping with pool noodles between legs) or speed walking.
At the end of the days competitions the results were this. Bailey took 3rd overall for her division.
Regan took 1st overall for her division.
That is Regan's teacher, Vice Principle & PE/Health teacher Miss Lynley.
Way to go kids!
