There was much excitement in the house this morning as Phil prepared for Sports day at school. We are lucky in our little area of England, healthy competition is still encouraged between children and the houses compete for points in exactly the same way as they did at HPS....Phil is in Yellow house as he was in South Africa and it is something he takes a great measure of pride in.

Phil and his mate mucking with the team mascot - always up to some kind of mischief :0)

Phil's best friend Kelby cheering his team on - love how involved he is

Phil completed in both the mixed medley relay and Wellie race - not being the strongest runner in the world he tends towards the "fun" races as opposed to the flat races which are run amongst the strong runners at the beginning of the event. He came second in the Wellie race (yay!) and his team was first in the mixed medley relay so as far as he was concerned it was a good day all round.

Although Yellow house won the field events yesterday, Green house won today's track events and as Red house was second on both days they managed to pip both teams to the post as the overall winners - much to Phillip's disgust lol.

I loved the expression on these children's faces as they ran their victory lap
