What is Sports day about?
It’s sports day, and everyone is ready for a busy day of races, games and cheering. There are hula-hoops to spin, bean bags to balance, sack races to jump through and eggs to carry on spoons. Some events bring laughter, while others lead to excitement, disappointment or the occasional tear. Whether the sun shines or rain clouds gather, the children join in, try their best and enjoy a memorable day of friendly competition and fun.
