At the end of October, we all took part in the Tavy 7 race on Dartmoor. I ran the full 7 mile race, Ben and Aaron did a 1.78 mile fun run and Coby and Kelly did a 0.8 mile fun run.  We all completed the course and got a medal, except for Kelly as she was just accompanying Coby as he was too young to compete on his own, which was a shame really. The boys enjoyed it and had fun and were even more happy to get some cake and a drink (a cup of tea in Coby’s case!) after their races whilst they were waiting for me to finish.  All of the boys took their medals into school to be presented with them during assembly.

Tavy 7 2019 Medal

This year at Sports Day, Aaron’s team only had half of the number of children they were meant to as all 3 girls were off ill. So Aaron and the other boys had to do each activity twice! This didn’t stop them though as they easily won 5 out of the 6 activities! These included a Pirate treasure game, football dribbling, egg and spoon race, hurdles and a couple others. Aaron did very well on each of them and tried his best, although there was a little cheating going on with the egg and spoon race! 😉

They then had the running races and Aaron also had to do this twice as the first race didn’t count as there was a false start and no-one heard the headmaster shout for them to come back, so all the boys continued on to the end only to find they had to go back and run again! Aaron didn’t go top speed on this (he usually doesn’t!) but he gave it a good go and came about half way out of about 20 boys. He was happy with that and was probably tired out anyway from doing the activities earlier twice. He also knew he had to go to swimming after school as well, so he took it a bit more steady. 😉

Anyway, Lynher, his house group, won the KS1 Sports Day again (they usually win each year) so Aaron contributed well to the points the team scored. Well done Aaron! X
