Well, this was a belated blog, but the picture was indeed from Wednesday. Tonight Leah had her "Little Sneakers" class at Byron Somerset school. Today we were supposed to do T-Ball, but I don't think that the teenage instructors have any sense of time. The class is 30 minutes long, we spend 5 minutes taking attendance, then another 10 minutes doing a running game and stretching. The next 5 mintues was spent handing out balls and having our children learn how to throw a ball underhand to their parents. Then 5 minutes having the kids trying to toss their ball into a hula-hoop that was on the floor (many of these 3 year olds were trying to roll the ball because they didn't understand the concept of "toss"). This leaves only 5 minutes to "play" but at this point they realize the time and call us all back to the middle for a final stretch and group cheer.
The first picture is of the gym and how they did intend to actually play T-Ball (the T-Ball stand IS there!)

The next is me getting all artsy for you and I took an angled picture of the coloured mats that all elementary schools have piled up in a corner of their gym.


Next week is basketball, hopefully they will have figured out their "planning" and time management.

  1. P started Little Sneakers last week too. It involved them saying we are going to play Freeze tag... GO! She was clueess as she had never played before. It wasn't really a success. (oh, and time was also a problem!)
    Had to skip it today thought because of Disney Playhouse. Well worth it! :)
