we love the home ed sports day. it isn’t really anything like the sports days of my youth! chris – a rather nice chap that does the monday sports sessions – does it. he gets them all to warm up, and then is v inventive in the sporty games they play. he is fab at encouraging and cheering on the kids, so that all abilities feel happy and enthusiastic. he isn’t at all phased by drop outs, or drop back ins. he really seems to want all to enjoy sport and have fun with it rather than following any rules of games. its also a rather good gathering of a spread out group, and time for a good natter.
SB and A got right to joining in and racing about having fun. M was rather pleased to see J of the deependers so that he could have ‘boy play’ – rofl! BB joined in a bit, and then we went to the play area and bb mostly went into the pool there. we picniced, watched and kids had fun. eventually we went home with a variety of shattered children to shepherd into bed. we adults went to bed way to late, especially since we were supposed to pack.
