Third Grade Field Day

This past Monday, the third graders enjoyed "Field Day". Unfortunately, the thunderstorms forecasted for late afternoon arrived much, much earlier creating a "change of plan". Originally, the third graders were to enjoy lunch at Hilmar Park, but due to the morning showers, the event was moved to the front entrance of the school, under cover. All four third grade classes enjoyed hot dogs, chips and a drink with their classmates and friends. Noah's class is pictured below sporting their red shirts.

Mrs. Kay checked the forecast/radar and decided that there should be enough of a break in the weather for the third graders to participate in "Field Day" outside. Several Moms quickly moved the events from indoors back outside, while Noah's class patiently waits for the games to begin.

The entire third grade class was divided into 10 teams and rotated through 10 events. I was stationed at "Corn Hole" and was only able to take a few pictures of Noah as he particpated in Field Day. Below Noah uses a foam dart gun to shoot the cans off their perch--notice that one of the cans was "hit"...

Noah is supposedly hitting the ball to his buddy across the way, but it seems that his aim might be off--just a little.

Noah was GREAT at holding on to the sack and jumping up and down the field; who knew?!
The rain held off until the very end of Field Day. The third graders enjoyed all 10 stations and quickly moved indoors to enjoy their well-earned popsicles. They did get a little wet on the return to school, but at least they were able to enjoy Field Day outside! Way to go 3rd Graders!
