William's School Sports Day

William had his school sports day on Saturday, August 15th.

All children from Years 1 to 6 were required to arrived latest by 7:45am at the Stadium (forgotten the name but it's near our house).  I did not know that there were food stalls set up at the Stadium where we could get our breakfast, so we stopped by the dim sum shop along the way to buy "pau" and "lo mai kai" for the kids to eat in the car.

William was in the Galatians team, and the team color was purple.  Therefore, all team mates had to wear purple tee.  The other teams were Ephesians, Colossians, Philippians.  In each team, they had children from different age and class.

We initially took the seats up on the gallery before we and many other parents started moving around to get better angles and also away from the heat of the morning sun

The event started with the school song, national anthem and the team march and cheer.  After some introductions, the teams then moved on to the first event, which was the race, followed by many other games.

William took part in the 100m run but did not win.  However, he did well and was the second last standing in the Dodgeball competition, which the team eventually won first place.

William had so much fun playing the Dodgeball; he teased and danced during the game too.

Tug of War was fun

He is so happy with his gold medal.  The team won second place in the overall games.

All the teams played well and thank God for good weather, and great bonding and fun.

It is so wonderful to see everyone had fun and teamwork.  There were no tears but many cheers!  The Sports Day was supposed to end at 12noon but we ended about half an hour earlier which was a good thing as the sun was getting too hot for comfort.  We tapau-ed a simple lunch on the way home.  William was still so charged up and tells me that he wants everyday to be Sport Day.
