Grade R Sports Day

It was with great excitement that the Grade R children made their way down to the field for their very first Sports Day on 29 September. 

Hats on their heads, water bottles in hand, they lined up in front of the grandstands to start the proceedings. The welcome from the Head, Mrs Harris, was followed by a spirited rendition of the Saints war cry. As the echo of ‘One and All’ resounded, each class went to their first station, their parents in tow, to start the first event.

Running races, relay races, soccer drills and goals, each class participated in the six activities set up for them. Their faces shone with enthusiasm and delight as they gave their all and shouted encouragement to their classmates. Hot and tired, they returned to the grandstands for the grand finale: the moms’ and dads’ fun races!  It was easy to see where our children get their talent, as much laughter and shouting could be heard. In the spirit of One and All, the children sang happy birthday to one of the teachers, one of the moms and one of the children who were all celebrating their special day! It was a wonderful way to end a very special morning and we thank all the parents for taking the time to come and support their children.
