James' first Sports Day

Today was Sports Day for Little Rainbows pre-school at the Queen Anne school. James was very excited and was telling me how he had to eat lots f fruit for energy. He likened his racing style to that of a very fast team train. The races were run in heats and all the children did really well. James ran in all races except the hopping. He was extra good in the egg and spoon race (new potatoes were used to minimize spillage!) and received a gold medal for his efforts.

There was also a Mummy's race which saw me streaking along in a pink tutu and tiara, waving my fairy wand as I crossed the line. Luckily no photos of that!

The children descended like hungry wolves onto the food at refreshment time - strawberries and cream, tea and shortbread biscuits. James ate most of my strawberries and later sneakily snuck a bowlful from the table thinking no one was watching!

Afterwards we helped pack up and take equipment back to the hall for storage.

We had a fantastic morning! Photos are here.
