Field Day Prologue

So last Friday the whole school of 180+ students including the four-year-old class, put down their pencils, closed their books and meandered outside in a nice straight, quiet line.

Well, mostly straight and mostly quiet.  A few competitors had their game faces on already.

A few students were running frantically about trying to find their sports clothes and a toilet in which to change.  I must say, I love Maureen's shoes and socks.

The class 9 boys had set up the well-planned obstacle course,

and tried it out, 

with the direction of Mr. Onditi - Class 2 teacher and mastermind of amazing field days.

He's smiling in the picture because he's reminding everyone that last year, his Class 2 students won the tug-of-war competition.  They even beat Class 9.  Yikes!
