We have been talking about the Junior School cross country all week and Iman came second in the practice round for her class a few days ago. So we got to school earlier than usual all geared up to RUN! I was so geared up that I jumped at the idea of running myself when another Mum pulled my leg that there was a Mum's race!
Iman and Zar waiting for their races. Races were divided into boys and girls in their year groups. 1st, 2nd and 3rd places received ribbons and points for their respective "houses".
On your marks...
And they're off....with much jostling
Iman did not emerge well from the jostled start but did manage to overtake most of her peers to come in 4th. We are so proud of her but Iman was hugely disappointed not to come 1st, 2nd and 3rd. But that's the world of competition. Interestingly the 2nd and 3rd positions in Iman's group were both taken by the two girl triplets while the boy triplet romped it home in the boys race. And the girl who came in first has a young sister in Jack's year group who came in 1st well ahead of her peers in the Kindly race. Where's Professor Robert Winston when you need him?!
And Jack...he really enjoyed his morning. He came in about 5th or 6th in his year group and enjoyed the run around the Junior School playground and everyone got a ribbon.
