We had fun doing the ‘high jump’ which was not very high! We were careful not to fall over as we lept into the air.

And then the ‘Egg and Soon Race’, we used a wooden spoon with a small bean bag balanced on the top. We didn’t want to waste any eggs. We ran up and back and passed the spoon to our next team mate. It was heaps of fun!

Then we all had a go at the discus – using plastic plates – they sure had a mind of their own…next time we will try frizbees, they may fly straighter!!

Lat of all Mrs de Koning gave us some hints about doing the sack race. It was a super race. Thanks Mr O’ for thinking of getting them out of the sports shed for us! We loved it… A great last race.
