Ready? Steady? Go!

Last week at the boys' school it was Health & Safety Week. The children were encouraged to bring in extra healthy packed lunches & got points every time they did & names went into a prize draw (I think). They did all kinds of stuff on road safety, healthy food etc. (They had already had Walk to School week a few weeks earlier in case you wondered!). Part of Health & Safety Week is the sponsored sports events to raise money for playground improvements. The Infants event was held on the school yard as the school doesn't have a field for the kids to play on. There were 6 teams of mixed ages & abilities & they did 5 different races- walking, tennis ball & spoon, dribbling a football, bouncing a ball & hockey. Jordan's favourite race was the hockey one. He was certainly VERY fast! His team won this race!
Annie enjoyed watching the children from her pram...
...and so did Timmy & Luke when they had finished in nursery. They enjoyed sitting on my coat eating the treats from their snack packs- fabulous little re-sealable bags with animal pictures on the front that I fill with cheerios, raisins, crackers etc. (See here for more details). They also loved cheering & clapping!
The next week it was Timmy & Luke's turn to do a sponsored gym circuit. They had to do 10 laps down a slide, over stepping stones, jump over the box, climb over the frame...
...go through the tunnel & walk over the bar back to the start. They had so much fun practising for it & completing it on the day.
They got a sticker from their teacher when they had finished which they loved! They were absolutely shattered (& grumpy!) afterwards though!
