Today was our inner house athletics competition, or track meet as we might say in the states. The learners competed in shot put, high jump, javeline, long jump. And a series of running events. They were divided into a red team and blue team to make it more fun.
The red team
The blue team. They beat the blue team 300 to 189. I didnt select the teams, but I think one of the teachers may have stacked the blue team.
Sone under 15 girls doing high jump. as you can see, they go for a ‘Get over the bar anyway I can’ technique that made me fear for their necks everytime they jumped.
This is our best runner. She won the zonal and went to regionals last year but they wouldnt let her compete because she didnt have a birth certificate. Ive been asking around to see if there are ways to grt copies like you can in the us but havent gotten an answer. Hopefully we’ll get one before the competition. she’s a natural runner. it would be a shame for her to be stopped because of paperwork.
this learner ran with his arms like that all day.

Oh you know, just a learner holding an umbrella so that a teacher has some shade. Typical example of
how the teachers treat the learners as their own servants
