A new arrival!

The day dawned bright and clear, and the lorry pulled onto the field

The marquee begins to take shape

The sides are on

Looking good...

And now the stage is in. This is Fusion Rock choir at 7 pm tonight trying out their places for Friday's JessFest

This marquee will be full on Friday night - 7 till 9pm. Will you be there? It will be a fantastic night. The Bloglady's last big concert. Don't miss it.
Choirs involved : Jubilate, Vocalize, and Fusion (our adult rock choir - the biggest in the area) 

Tickets are only £4. Available from the school office. BUT NOT AVAILABLE AT THE GATE, SO YOU NEED TO BUY IN ADVANCE.

Meanwhile - the Inter House Gymnastics competition blue PE mats are in position ready for tomorrow morning. (See the final picture, above) The tension mounts!.....

Final races - some key battles in Year 3/4's Sports Day!

Even the Reception children have stopped what they were doing and come to watch as the Sports Day comes to an exciting set of final races!
The sprint relay

Some excellent running

 Even time for a glance at the supporters!

 The competition was fierce

 Baton changes

 And now, the dads' race

 The tension mounts - Miss Collins at the finish line,...

.... Mr Hayward and Mr Fuller will judge the result....

...what a finish!

The mums have a go too

 And the staff race! (a handicap system was in play!)

Year 3/4 Sports Day - obstacles and hoops!

The start of the obstacle race

Giant feet!

Under the net

The skipping section

The hoop relay

More and more children have to join on as the race progresses

Whoops! the yellow team have lost someone!

Look at the effort!

Year 3/4 Sports Day - the parents!

It wasn't just the children who had a good time at Sports Day

Here are some of our fantastic parents and families supporting their children

It was a really hot day...

...and many parents sat in the shade

Some even brought a handy rug to sit on. (Good thinking!)

Our parents love to be photographed.

They really do!

Some of these you will see again in a later post...

...because they entered the parents' race!

Thanks for coming. Your children love your support (and so do the staff, to be honest)

Year 3 and 4's Sports Day - part one.

Three houses - Red...

....yellow...

...and blue.

The caterpillar race...

...it calls for teamwork

After the race finishes, there is a mess of caterpillar skins!
