Politically Correct Sports Day!


It was James' first sports day so I went along to support him....obviously he'd need me cheering him on to the finish line......finish line, what! in a sports day, oh no, this wasn't the competitive, winning kind of sports day...oh no, this was group activity, taking turns, danger free, everyone's a winner kinds of sports day.

No running, no sack race....plastic 'eggs' on spoons, but not a race..a walk round!

No cheering either, parents were kept at watching distance only.

The kids enjoyed it, but come on schools...holding a large circular multicoloured piece of fabric round the edge whilst others run under it is not a sport!
