Sports Day

THE day finally came.Woke up earlier than usual..not because excited or nervous but because had to go and help to prepare pizza and sushi and also arrange the things.I didn't help out much with the food cause there were too many doing it.So,i followed one of the teachers outside to help with the stuff needed for the games.We joked and had a really good time.

Every Sports Day,teachers will have to play at least two games.But we will not know until the day.So,we...the SMART teachers will look for hint.The year before we suddenly saw lots of fruits on the table in the kitchen so we knew that it will be an eating game.This year...we were looking so hard.We knew the title got something to do with water and insects.Finding and trying to hear for the sound of them but nothing.Suddenly..while i was outside preparing the stuff with one of the teachers...she shouted 'FISH,FISH,FISH'.We thought they were just paper fishes used for the children's game.Unfortunately...they were ALIVE.Why unfortunately?Not because i hate fish.I like them just that when we are suppose to play a game with them..doesn't sound that good.I am hopeless at catching them with hands and i can't eat them alive also.So...i was pretty worried.

Then the events started...The teachers as usual...will be the ones screaming and shouting and cheering at the top of their voices.Why?Teachers are what you call..'kia su'..scared to lose.But the kids were okay overall.Some that didn't do well during practises actually did it better than the ones that did well before.That is why they are unpredictable.

After the children's game....was the our turn,the teachers.The first one was fine.We had to place toy insects on one of the teacher from our group.The group with the most wins.We got second for that because one of our insect dropped.If it didn't then it would be a tie.The second game was the one with the LIVE FISH.I knew we had to catch them and there was no net nearby.So my heart was beating quite fast.Then,the boss came with cloths and i was so so so GLAD.Using cloth was definitely better than hands though some teachers prefer it the other way.We came first for this game.We had 9 fishes.

After all the events,marks were totalled up and my group won.The prizes were given and then everyone had ice-cream to cool down.That was really good and everyone enjoyed it.

So that was how a Sports Day would be in a nursery...Can be enjoyable but the preparations before are really tiring and stressful.Worth all that for a fun day with the kids =)
