Yellow

Yellow is THE team to be part of at the school Sports Day!

On Friday, I went along to school with Joel, dressed in our yellow outfits, to cheer on Esther and Ben in their races and to support their Yellow Team:

 Joel was not ashamed to support the Yellows, despite being surrounded here by the Reds!

Esther did well in her races- they were so fast, I didn't manage to get many photos!!

Here is the reception Class line-up- a tense moment (for the Mums!) as the competitors get ready to run!

And they're off!

 Poor old Ben took a tumble with a bit of a pile-up on the sports "field", but bravely picked himself up, dusted the sand off and valiantly ran to the finish line, despite being left behind after his topple:

I didn't manage to get any photos of the Parent Races, but am excited to report that I actually managed to win the Mum's Race!! A short moment of glory for me...but a bit too late for this year's Olympics!

Despite our colour preference for Yellow on Friday, earlier in the week Ben and Joel branched out to include other colours in a painting activity at home:

Ben stayed home from school on Monday after being unwell on Sunday with a very high fever. Both Ben and Joel suffered with fevers over 40'C on Sunday, but I'm pleased to report that it was short-lived and by Monday evening, both of them were well again. Monday morning's painting activity must have helped them along the way, with their colourful paintings to cheer them up!

  1. Well done the racing Parkers,speedy mum,Little Esther beside her taller class mates, number one fan and supporter Joel and I take my hat off to Ben, he looks like a really serious runner with great style and as if he is arriving first not last at the finishing line.
    Where was high flying dad Parker? nana
