Track and field, bump and project

Sunday, 11th April 2010





Now that Tess is in Grade 2 she has to take part in a track meet as part of her gym curriculum. Over the next 4 weeks they will be practising three events (100m sprint, standing long jump and long jump) and at the beginning of May she'll be taking part in a competition. As she is very nervous and insists she is 'rubbish' at all of this we went to the running track (with Enrico and bikes, and football, and scooters) to try out the track and field events.


This was the first time we've met Enrico and it was lovely to meet Oliver's 'Little Brother'. He is polite and friendly and it took no time for Tess and Meg to be competing against him. Unfortunately, while we were having a snack, Tess fell off the bars and banged her head. There is a sizable bump there (which she's rather proud of) - a talking point for school tomorrow.





As for me, Olly took charge of the barbecue for dinner (the sunny weather is back) which meant I had time to go to the craft store to gather supplies for a project I'm starting next week. I'm going to try to follow Ali Edward's 'A Week In The Life' project starting on 19th April. It's a bit of a challenge so we'll see how we get on.

Anyway, that's it for tonight. See you tomorrow!
