Jack and Seth Sports
Day
   The evening before Sports Day, grandpa
hard boiled some eggs for a practise with Seth. Very
soon he was zooming up and down the hall.
  Next, it was to pose with his egg whilst we looked up some ostrich factoids
for ‘Show and Tell’.
  Race time,
Seth (yellow top) confidently took his marks and set off like a rocket. Well in
the lead, oops, egg dropped.
 Quite satisfied with Third Place and points for the
Yellows.
  A short while later it was time to
form up for the sprint.
Seth took off well.
 Not a favourite, Seth finished joint fifth, a good effort.
  Next, it was Jack’s turn to form up (second from right) for the bean bag relay. We had talked strategy and decided as a
team that Jack should go for the furthest bean bag first, then the second and
lastly, the nearest one allowing for a good sprint finish. Sadly, something went
to pot after the furthest bag was safely stowed, a bit of a fumble and he
collected the first one second and hesitated at the drop before setting off for
the second bean bag.
  A strong sprint
finish.
 A wonderful lunge
for the line but no placing.
 Later, Jack was back for the javelin.
 A huge amount of pre-throw conditioning.
 A great
launch. We put it down to several others getting ‘windage’ thereby
robbing Jack of a place...............
ALL IN ALL SUNNY SMILES,
SUNNY EFFORT AND SUNNY WEATHER
GREAT FUN WAS HAD BY
