I thought it is pretty apt that this term's activity is Sports day, and on the same day as the start of Olympics as well! The theme for this semester is Sports and cumulates in a sports day event for the kids.
It is held at the Turf Club field, a shaded soccer pitch which is very nice.
The kids have 2 events each, an event with their friend and another with their parent.
Prizes were then awarded to the winning team and consolation for the teams that lost.
It was all good fun, and it is very interesting to watch some of the clueless young kids being encouraged to go through the event.
En En did the first event with the support of his teacher running alongside him, and he fell on his face during the child and parent event. But he did better during that event with NJ, running his best, and I caught that on video. Not too bad for his first sports day and he seems happy with his prizes.
I think it is rather cool for to be there cheering him on for his first sports day. More of that to come, and I realise how time is "compressed" for kids these days. In our days, we only have our first sports day in Primary school. Now they have it from N1! amazing. Wonder what new things they have in Primary school now.
I find these moments really precious, little memories to be stored away to be recounted in the future.
For now, here are the photos, while I will post the actual race photos in another entry.
