Well it was Jack's sports day yesterday.
Jack is my nephew and is Autistic and also has learning difficulties. Well the Sports day was fantastic it was the first one at his "big school" senior school he went there last year at 12 and will be there till 18 the school has a sports field and track.
His class are the youngest
he won the running race
YAH. He came 2nd in the obstacle course
YAH and he came first in the egg and spoon race. He dropped the egg twice
then solved his problem he held the egg in one hand the spoon in the other.
One lad about 14-15 set off on the running race but carried on round the track they let him do the first lap tried to catch him but he evaded them and carried on off over the fields
with at least 7 teachers in pursuit - the announcer with the mike gave us all a running commentary such as "Miss X is gaining on him, no she slipped, Mr T is making up ground on the outside will he catch him no he's been tripped by Miss P making an outside....." excellent day had by all.
