K2 Fun Sports Day

Yipee! Today is the "K2 Fun Sports Day" for Ethan school. All the K2 students need to wear the sport dress but mummy didn't let Ethan wear the short sleeve T-shirt and short pant because of the hot sun. Also afraid that Ethan will fall down. All the long sleeve and pants were protection for him.



Daddy took a day off today to attend Ethan's sport day. We sent Ethan to the school first in the morning. Parents need to gather around the central garden where the function will be held. The sport day began at 8.50am with the student parade to the garden then the activities will begin promptly at 9.00am. Each classes will be divided into 2 groups and participate in 7 activities. Parent were invited to attend and participate in each activities with their child.

1 Tyre Crossing
The teacher demonstrated to the kids on how to play the game. After that all the kids eagerly want to try it. In the first time the kids were held by their hands by parent or teacher to walk across the tyre. After having had one round of fun, we let Ethan tried himself without our help. He tried to balance his body while walking on it. Some of the kids were afraid but some got the hang to it pretty fast.
2. Mini Obstacle course
No need to demonstrate this, the kids already knew how to play it. They need to hoop along the obstacle placed on the ground and climb across the plastic tunnel. The kids all happily played this activity but they liked to go across the tunnel. Most of them after the tunnel then will climb across again without jumping those obstacle in front. Kids even rolled over the plastic tunnel.
The announcer called for a rest time. The teacher brought the kids to the shady place for kids to take a rest and drink their water. After resting for a while, the game started again.


3. Water Game
This game requires kids to bring along the water with a cup from the full of bucket of water to the empty one. All kids like to play with water so nobody wanted to let go of the cup. Ethan was frustrated of waiting for his turn after his friends had played the water for many rounds. He shouted to his friend that " It's my turn". One of kids' parent asked his kid to give Ethan the cup. We thank him then Ethan started to play with it.
4. Hoop Jumping
At first the teacher placed all the students in one place to watch her demonstrate but after the demonstration the kids cannot wait. All of them ran to pick up all the toys on the hop la hoop. The teacher had to ask them to place back and begin the game one by one. Ethan gets to begin the game. He played it correctly but other kids really cannot wait and once again they all rushed to pick up the toys again. Teacher was losing control.
5. Ball and Hoop
The teacher demonstrated again before letting the kids to play. Ethan was the second to play this game. He was just high enough to slum jump the basket ball. Ethan managed to play this game twice before they moved to the other game.
6. Running Game
This game we really don't know how to play as the kids busy picking up the ring without listening to the teacher's instruction. In the end we still didn't know how this game is played. All the kids interested in picking up the ring and placing it in different hop la hop.
7. Parachute Game
Everybody hold the parachute and swing it up and down. Some of the kids will run into the middle of the parachute. The kids really have fun here. Ethan was crying here because he has been push down to the floor hard by one of his friend. After teacher talked to him, he stopped crying and continued to play the game.

8. Bubble Blowing
The was the last activities for the kids. Lots of parents and kids participated in this game.



The last activities before ending of the Sports Day was giving out testimonial. All the kids were placed around according to their classes. The teacher will call up their names to receive the testimonial for participating in the games.



After that all the kids needed to go back to their class with their parents. Ethan played with the chalk and written some number before he entered the class.

Ethan refused to go back with us after the game. We let him stay in the school with his friends, but most of them gone back home with their parents. We picked Ethan at 11.30am and only found that his class only left him with one of his classmates. We caught the shuttle bus to the Thumb Plaza again. Yup, no driver again as we switched his working day to Sunday.
