The whole school goes to a nearby park and our P.E teachers organize different running races according to the kids'age. The youngest ones run in the morning and primary schools join in. The older kids run in the afternoon and a senior highschool joins in every year. All teachers are out on the ground! We all have a great time! Hello Phil,

Well done. We too have a school sports day. We try and keep it as a fun day with the emphasis on fun and participation. It is a day when we take a total break from the classroom and academic activities and hopefully (when the Irish weather permits) spend the day outdoors. We do not give out any medals as the same kids would win everything!! No one complains, everyone is a winner, and we have a nice relaxed day. Tom Hi Phil,

Do you hvae school sports day ? I am trying to move away from ultra-competitive races where all the fast kids always win everything - this year we are going to ask the children what THEY want and which races THEY wish to be in. (with maybe a FEW competitive events for the sporty, athletic types) What do you think ? Thankyou for your comments.

Your kids look very happy. An excellent idea that extra-curriculum sport activity and your kids seem to have a lot of fun. Your kids look very happy.
