Track and Field Day

November 10th was track and field here at the school. It was a great day. It started at 7 in the morning. There was an opening ceremony, followed by performances by the gymnastics and martial arts clubs from the school. Then the sports began. It was a lot of fun to spend time with our students outside of the classroom and watch them compete.

This is me with twins from Jen's volleyball team.

A grade 5 and two of Jen's grade 3's. The girl in plaid is one of our favourites. She is really nice and sooo cute.

The events that day were races, long jump, shot put, and high jump.

They asked me to have a try at the high jump. You'll notice it is not much of a mat there so they were only doing scissor kicks. I made it over, but I am not used to jumping with a scissor kick and so my jump turned into a half flop, half scissor kick landing me flat on my butt. It really hurt, but it was good for a laugh in front of the students and teachers!
