For those non-Welsh speakers amongst our readership this blog is about Josh’s Sports Day!

Mum, Dad & Harry have been to Wales this afternoon to watch Josh take part in his Year 2 Sports Day.  They arrived at school & were greeted with a lovely surprise – Josh had won the competition to design the cover for the Sports Day Programme.

Josh took part in 2 races – the obstacle race and the hockey ball dribbling and skipping race, this is due to become an Olympic event in 2020!  Josh did really well in both of his races and finished a very respectable 2nd in both of them.  Sadly victory was stolen from him in the hockey ball dribbling and skipping race as he encountered difficulties in the changeover area.  He carelessly threw his hockey stick onto the ground and onto his skipping rope, so when he picked his skipping rope up it was entangled with a hockey stick which caused a delay in Josh commencing his skipping.

The skipping was a sight to behold, Josh has developed a great skipping technique – he leans his upper body over to the left hand side so that the rope doesn’t get caught on his head & then he simply runs whilst spinning the rope and hopes for the best – we are sure it will win him Olympic Gold in 2020!

Sadly Dad couldn’t take part in the Dad’s race because of his injured foot & Mum didn’t take part in the Mum’s race as she thought she should leave that honour to Josh’s biological Mum.  Despite much pleading from Josh his Mum refused to run in the race.

And so that was the end of Josh’s Year 2 Sports Day – we are already looking forward to the Year 3 spectacle!
