Sports Day!

Friday was sports day at our school, which is equivalent to play day or field day in America.  Each standard, or grade, wore a different colored t-shirt, and participated in organized games and races.  Standard IV, my kiddos, wore yellow and played with the Standard V group as well.  [There are three Standard IV classes and just one Standard V.  I teach all of those children, because the teachers teach a specific subject and switch classes during the day.]

We started the morning right at the Bull Frog: with 

Thanksgiving leftovers!  Yay for turkey and french toast and 

Cheryna, who asked if we could have the turkey! ;)

At sports day: some of my kiddos with my directing teacher :)

Stephen from my class, whom I have nicknamed

"Stevie Wonder," did a backflip off this post!!

Wheelbarrow race

Lime and spoon race

This was an interesting race....and one that would NEVER be allowed

in the States.  I think it was called "The Horse Race," or something similar, 

and involved the students carrying one another piggy back (while running) to 

one side of the field, switch positions with the partner and run back!

The other standards in their different colored shirts

My directing teacher running alongside some of our boys to

motivate them during a race! ;)

Three legged race

I went to visit Ms. Melissa...and her students were shading her from the sun!

Of course we had to try the "Horse Race"

The Banana Song ("Peel banana, peel, peel, banana!")

After lunch, we didn't have any more races planned, so we sat 

and watched the kiddos play in the field.  It was quite nice.

I can honestly say it's my first November sunburn! ;)
