Jono was invited to one of his Elementary Schools to watch their sports day, so I tagged along. 
We arrived a it late so came in at the end of the student and parent part. The parents were giving their kid an arm and leg whizzy and then sat them on their shoulders. The kids looked like they were having an absolute ball with their parent! We soon met with the Principal who invited us into the VIP section to sit with all the other guests under a shade. Later we were even invited to come and have lunch with them. It was great and we felt like royalty.

Next came the relays. The kids all jogged onto the track in order and the first lot took their positions. They were soooooo little and so cute! The real littlies only ran 100m, while the older ones later on ran 200m. At the finish line were older students wearing bibs numbered 1 to 6. Their job was to watch for the results and guide the students to then sit behind the placement flags, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. It was very well organised and the kids knew exactly what was going on.
There a few routines performed by the different grades. This routine included students singing a song and then making 3-levelled human pyramids. It was quite impressive. All the students put in a lot of energy when they danced and looked like they were having lots of fun. I really enjoyed watching them.
The next relay involved the PTA members. Their relay included many different stations 
including:
including:-running
-blowing up a balloon and then sitting on it to pop it
-balancing a cock on a badminton racket
-ripping a bagged something (too far away to see what it was) hanging from a pole with teeth
-retrieving a sweet from a tray of flour with no hands (pictured)
The last event we saw involved trying to throw soft balls into a netted goal ring. Balls were flying everywhere and slowly filling up the net. To find out who the winner was (red or white team) a judge for each team would reach into to net and throw one ball at a time into the air as the crowd counted. It was amusing to watch the little kids play the same game, lets just say aim isn't their strong point! It was very cute and has inspired me to try and run a miniature Sports Day at my new school next year.
