Sukaneka 2010

DD's school held a Sukaneka on 27th of March. As usual, I found out about it at the last minute. I was focusing on Sports Day, which was held later on in April. I didn't realize that Sukaneka is the event for Year 1 - Year 3 kids, whereas Sports Day is for Year 4 - Year 6 kids.

We arrived at the school before 7.45 am. The kids gathered at the field in front of the school.
















One PE teacher, on behalf of the event organisers, gave a short speech. And Class 1M kicked off the Sekaneka. This was followed by 1E, and then DD's class, 1G.

















DD's PE teacher was down with dengue and had returned to school just a few days before the Sukaneka Day. Hence the kids did not have enough time to practise. They all did well enough, except for the last part where the last runner for each team was supposed to cross the finish line. None of them did that. They kept returning to where their team members stood at the other end despite numerous prodding from the teachers and parents to run to the finishing line. Finally their PE teacher had to guide the kids, 1 by one, to the finish line. And because of that, DD team from the yellow house emerged champion. Haha!

















Right after receiving their gold medals from the Headmistress, the kids were adjourned to the canteen where each of them was given a food packet. DD enjoyed her meals with her friends and played for a little while.















We left shortly after 10 am. To my disappointment, the kids didn't get the next Monday off.
