Sports Day in Shanghai

Today, William and Oliver participated in their first sports day. In actual fact it turned out to be sports hour!  Parents were invited along to take part.  Sam had the day off work, all geared up to race the other dads until we discoved that it was a non-competative sports day!  Well, unless you had a brother also taking part!


Out on the back field 11 activites had been set up. 



Pupils and their parents completed each activity according to the rules, collected a stamp and moved on.  If you managed to complete all 11 you were allowed to pick your favourite to go back to. 




It was great fun and Oliver and William enjoyed completing activities such as hula hoop, space hoppers, sprints and the obstacle course. 



 






As we travelled around each activity one highlight was collecting the stamps!


The obstacle course proved a favourite and was completed twice.  The second time with another set of identical twins!



Sports day was a huge hit with all four of the Hawkridges but in particular with us as it obviously wore William and Oliver out - they were in bed and fast asleep by 7:10 tonight!
