The Colors of Sports Day

The Colors of Sports Day

The one month rehearsal for sports day is over and today students eagerly awaited the start of this annual sports competition . Parents came to watch their children compete and do performances at the opening and closing ceremonies of this important event. The morning air was cool and the sun was warm, but turned scorching by noon. The mid-day heat did not dampen the spirits of the athletes, the competition was stiff and the cheerings were exciting. Everyone had a great time is looking forward to the next years sports event. Photos below:


The school band in black played , as the parade moved around the oval.

The torch has been lit and and parents eargerly wait for the performance of their children.

The primary school kids presented an opening performance for sports day.

The members of the cheering squads watched as the parade passed by.

The Pink Panther is the official mascot of the pink cheering squad. The color of the squad's T-shirt looks youthful and sweet, suits the teenage members well.

Yellow is the symbolic color of the king of this country, true to it, the squad members stood significantly among the crowd.

The orange cheering squad enjoyed the cool weather and warm morning sun. I cannot find my any of my students in this squad. I'm sure there are several of them up there.

My grade 7 girls with the red cheering squad posed candidly before the camera.

With the apple green cheering squad team are my grade 7 boys , all looking great in their sombreros.

My grade 8 students are members of the purple cheering squad. I'm wondering why they are so well behaved this morning. They normally aren't in class.
