Sporting Heros

We are coming towards the end of the school year, and there is a frenzy of practising for sports day going on at all the centres. In contrast to some of the classroom teaching we have seen, the sports events are perfect for children of this age.

There is the simple running race:

 The key to success lies in getting the Olympic-style start just right!

There is the picking-up-plastic-toys-and-dropping-them-in-a-bucket race:

 

 Then the filling-up-a-bottle-of-water race:

But nothing can beat my personal favourite - the dressing race. The children are stripped down to their underwear and then have to race to get dressed again - can be quite a challenge when you are only three. It is hilarious!

Sadly I will miss the sports day itself, as it will take place next week when I will be away. We have an ECD volunteers' meeting in Bangkok on Monday, and then Alice and I are going to travel south to Ranong for a study visit with two other volunteers who are working on the same project there.
