Brooklyn's House Athletics Carnival 2008

Brooklyn had her annual school House athletics carnival in March this year. As you may have guessed she is in Blue House. They have Blue, Red, Green and Yellow house and the whole school is divided into these teams. It was a Twilight sports night from about 6pm until 7.30pm because it was daylight savings. It was a great afternoon.

Here is Brooklyn lined up with her other friends in Grade 1 and ready for her relay.

Here we are at the end of the evening with Brookyn's house.
Brooklyn ran her sprint against 3 boys!! (unfair I reckon) but she got a ribbon for coming forth. She was very proud. There is a video posted of her sprint and obsticle course later.
A great action shot of my baby with the relay baton.
Excited and ready to play!
This is a team event where, normally for older children it's called tunnel ball, (where the leader rolls the ball through the legs of all the kids to the end and the bottom person runs to the top and rolls it again. For the younger grades they just get the children to throw the ball down the line and run to the front.

The captivated audience sitting in the stands!

I love it! Looks like you guys had so much fun. Brooklyn looks like a runner. She should be in track.
