About Sports Day

By Danny Dinosaur

Sports Day was a great success this year! All the students and teachers from Grades 7, 8 and 9 took part in the sports events. There were ten different events like running, long and high jumps, and ball throwing.

Everyone worked very hard, and we all got some good exercise. There were many winners this year. Kim, from Grade 7, won first place in four events. Tony, from Grade 8, won first place in two events and second place in three events. And Jack, from Grade 9, won first place in six events. Well done!

I took part in a running event. I ran really hard, but my tail got in the way. So I didn’t win first place. I only got third place. I felt a little sad, but then my teammates said, “Good work, Danny. Winning is not everything. Having fun is important. ” They were right! We all had lots of fun!

Thank you everyone for a great Sports Day. Hope to see you all next year!
